Your first post made it seem as if you can connect to the mywifiext address
One thing to try is after its setup, log into your router and check its attached devices page. See if the extender is connected here and what its ip address is. Use that ip address to try to connect to it.
what router are you connecting it to?
What modem is that router connected to?
It’s an xFi gateway. The extender was working for months until there was a power outage and I wasn’t able to reconnect it since. Have tried rebooting the gateway to see if that helps and it doesn’t.
2 things to try.
1. reinstall the firmware to the extender on it. (even if you're current). Maybe something was corrupt in the firmware
2. Make sure the xfi gateway's 2.4ghz is using wpa2 and not wpa3
- Yup, the gateway is using WPA2. How can I update the extender firmware if I can’t connect to mywifiext?
