Can't access E6200

Yesteday I set up an EX6200 as an extender (or bridge) to a TP-Link AC1700 router via the WPS buttons for 2.4 and 5 GHz, then positioned the the unit where I want it. It shows on my Win 7 x64 laptop (wireless connections list). What I can't do is connect to it via wi-fi with mywifiext.net or 192.168.1.250 from a few feet away. This is my first time with an extender, so I'm not sure what to do next. Any ideas? Thanks,

      Do you mean running an ethernet cable from the router to the EX6200?

        I mean can you plug a pc into the EX6200 so you are able to get into the settings with mywifiext.com
