Can't Access WN3000RP mywifiext.net Page

I was able to gain access to the page by first finding what IP address was assigned to the Extender. I then typed in the IP address in the URL field which is a private IP and I was then able to access the setup page for the Range Extender. 
I then assigned a static IP address to the Range Extender and confirmed that I can ping the device. I cannot access the internet when I am connected to the EXT SSID as it cannot find my DNS server. Can you point me to a correction for this issue? When I'm on the primary SSID, there is no issue with accessing the internet.
I cannot download the firmware upgrade either as it goes to the netgear page and finds the firmware, but times out trying to download/install. I believe if I get the DNS issue resolved everything else will all in line.
