Can't access Extender via www.mywifiext.net

I accidently reset my wifi extender and now i having issues trying to reset it. I tried to connect it through my iphone and re-register it and although it seemed to work it has no internet connection. So i went online to do some research and found that its best to set it up via an ethernet cable. I have done this and it allowed me to connect to www.mywifiext.net however it couldnt establish an internet connection to the router and then it timed out and now i cant get back onto www.mywifiext.net.

 

Its doing my head in. Why can i get back to that page? I cant seem to access my router ( it is a speical router through a rural wireless satellite company called stratanet.co.nz 

so i have no idea.

 

Please help, all the instructions i have seen i have done, but when you start talking about IP addresses and where to find then and change them i have no idea.

    Hello rockyscotty

     

    You will want to do another factory reset of the extender by holding the reset button on the extender for 10 seconds then it should let you do the setup again you may want to take the extender in the same room as the router during setup to make sure it makes a connection then move it after setup is done.
