Can't access mywifiext.com after setup
I have tried several times now. I can factory reset the router, access mywifiext.com no problem. It takes me through the setup fine. However, once everything is setup I can't get back to mywifiext....

Have you guys tried to access the extender using its IP address you typically can find it in the attached devices of the router.

Also, I have turned off firewall/antivirus, factory reset router and extender multiple times.

No luck for me either. In doing this, I did discover that my modem/router that the extender connects through is now using IPv6. Would this have anything to do with it? I tried putting in the IPv6 address and still nothing. The internet works through the extender, I would like to get into the configuration of the extender and can't succesfully do that after going through the setup.

Well, right after posting this, I tried connect to mywifiext.net from my iPad and was able to get right in! Not sure what the difference is between using computer vs. iPad? I wish I could give you better info dbanjo, other than try a different device.

Thank you! for sharing this. After I read your post I connected to mywifiext.net using my iPhone and got right in. So I tried my MacBook and got in immediately. I wish I had read your post before I spent two hours trying to change the router password....
