Hi smithassoc1 - You can try factory resetting the extender by pressing on the small black button with a pin. After doing so, connect to the "NETGEAR_EXT" wifi network, browse to www.mywifiext.net again using the default credentials I mentioned earlier, and run through the setup instructions.
Please provide an update with the outcome.

Hi smithassoc1,
Would you mind providing the error that occurs when you attempt to login to www.mywifiext.net using the default credentials.

Hi Christain,
Thank you for your kind assistance
I attach a copy of my IP addresses(with most crossed out for Privacy)
I also attach a copy of when I try to log into mywifi extender
In the off chance I can go to set up,I feed in all the information that is required & then accept & then it throws me back to the Start again,I have try this at least 10 times & I had a Computer Tech here last week & explained my problem & he tried,but came up with the same
The Extender Ex6100 is working,as I can receive Wifi through out the House
The Wifi is Broadcom_4888,Broadcom_4888_2GXT & Broadcom_4888_5GXT
as This Program will only allow me to upload 1 file at a time,I will send 2 emails (No 2)
Thanks
Darryl.Smith.
