Lets' try to bring some transparency what is "the network" (limited to where the fancy name resolution is active) 

The extender creates two new extender WiFi networks. The extender’s new WiFi network names are based on your existing WiFi network name, with _2GEXT and _5GEXT at the ends of the names.

For example:
• Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
• New extender network names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT and  MyNetworkName_5GEXT
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.

Only when connected to the MyNetworkName_2GEXT and  MyNetworkName_5GEXT networks, this name resolution can be workable - not on the MyNetworkName network.

Note: I said can because some more fancy modern OS might use secured DNS (encrypted) for privacy. In these situations, the mywifiext or mywifiext[.com] or mywifiext[.net] and so on will resolve to the public IP address pointing to the landing page.

You can find the extender LAN IP on your router DHCP resp. "connected devices" list, when looking up the extender MAC address. Whatever default extender LAN IP you might have in mind are not active once the router DHCP has assigned an IP address
