Have a good Christmas

Hi Plemans
I was using the mywifi etc (apparently I am not allowed to type the full url address on posts?) but have now tried using the IP address for the extender as shown on connected devices on my router - still the same result. Cannot reach site.

do you get to the login page when you attempt to access it or just the "page cannot display"?
Have you tried factory resetting and reinstalling the extender? (use the installation assistant if you do)
