Thanks for the reply.  I am trying to log into the extender and I believe a device has to be connected to the extender to do that.  It seems like no ne of my devices are connected to the extender so I can't log into it.

Devices don't have to be connected to the extender to log in to it.

 

Find the IP address for the extender under the connected clients list on the main host router. Use this IP address in a web browser to connect to the extenders web page.
