EX 3100 Extender

Hi all, 

I have an EX 3110 Ac750 wifi extender that I have just factory reset. Now I cannot access it.

I have tried unsuccessfully logging into WWW  MY WIFI EXT . NET and http://192.168.1.3. Both pages cannot be found.

I have the Netgear Genie and it still will not find the EX3110 apart from being in the network map.

The reason I want to access the extender is I am changing network providers.

I have no ability to log in and fix this extender now.

I have read some of the other replies to how to do this and they all go round in circles back to Mywifiext.

Does anyone have a genuine fix?

    what are the leds on it doing? (color/blinking/etc) all of them. 

    Are you setting it up using wps? 

    Is it broadcasting the default netgear_ext address?

    are you able to connect to that?

      The extender is working fine with all lights working, no blinking.

      I have held in the factory reset to clear it and now just two greens solid.

      It is detected as Netgear_EXT.

      Seems Netgear won't secure their My wifi Ext page and cannot access that one to log in to reset passwords and put in the new ISP and login.

      Multiple browsers gave warnings that the page is down till Netgear sorts their sh*t out

      I've even tried using the Netgear Genie but all that does is show it is on the network map but no access avail

        1. when its in the netgear_ext its not supposed to be secured. otherwise, how would you set it up? Its designed to be open to connect to and go through setup. 

        2. When its in factory state, its not connected to the internet. there's no connection back to netgear or anything else. So there isn't anything to "sort out". 

        3. Usually when you get errors like you're getting, its related to a browser or PC issue. Did you try a different web browser or PC? Make sure any vpn's, private macs, private IP address, or relay services are disabled.
