I've hardwired to the extender over Ethernet and still can't form a connection (with without wifi) using the assigned IP, default IP or mywifiext .net or .local (with and without www)
The only time a page has loaded is when I'm not connected to the extender network? All other attempts have timed out or refused to connect?
I have a working connection with the extender over ethernet as I have internet (wifi off) and I also have a NAS attached to the extender but I just can't find a way into the admin?
