AC1200 WiFi extender - unable to set up

Hi good people

 

I've just bought the EX6110 but am unable to set it up.  Here's where I'm at;

 

1/ the extender is plugged in and the power light is green.

2/ I can see NETGEAR_EXT in my list of available networks

3/ there's no WPS button on my router so having to go down the Installation Assistant route.

3/ when i connect to NETGEAR_EXT a web browser screen launches but then says it can't reach the site

4/ I've added the relevant URL of the site page it's meant to go to to my local network in my Internet Settings area

5/ I've rebooted the laptop I'm trying to connect on.

 

...but still I'm getting a message saying the site can't be reached.

 

So, I'd be really grateful for some help on what to do next.

Many thanks

Jan

    UPDATE...

     

    I've now been able to access the site by using a private browsing session.

    The next screen which appeared was for USERNAME and PASSWORD, which I don't have so just resubmitted the site address and was then able to connect to the router.

     

    Took a while and seemed to be a lot more convoluted than it should be but got there in the end.
