Accessing Admin Page for EX7300 Nighthawk Extender When Connected via Ethernet
I'm on Windows 10 and I want to access to admin settings for my Nighthawk EX7300 extender. It is in extender mode, and connected to a router via WiFi. The only device I have connected to it is a desktop PC via an ethernet cable. I want to access the extender's admin page to change some settings. The guidance in the manual tells me to go to mywifiext .net , which takes me to this page:
Which is accurate - I'm not connected to the extender via WiFi. http://mywifiext.local and http://mywifiext/ just take me to a blank page. https://www.routerlogin.net/ takes me here (not the login page the manual indicates):
Trying to navigate to the default IP addresses of http://192.168.1.1/ and http://192.168.0.1/ just take me here (I haven't consciously changed the default IP address):
I also tried looking up my IP address in Control Panel and entering that, but that took me to the admin login page for my router, rather than the extender.
I can't connect any other device to the extender and access it via WiFi as I don't know the extender's WiFi network's password (this is one of the reasons I want to access the extender's settings). Can someone tell me how I can get to the admin login page when connected via ethernet?

what router is it connected to?
Log into it and look at its attached devices page (or equivalent).If the EX7300 is connected, an IP address should be listed there.
Use that address to access it.
The mywifi address works fine if running through a netgear router. Some of the other manufacturer's interpret that different and it doesn't navigate to the page. So use the extenders IP address it gets assigned by the router.
