EX3700 - Cannot sign in after setting up as access point

I have followed all the Net gear advice, tried different browsers, tried my mobile, set up static IP address etc.  I could log in fine yesterday but after factory reset and setting up as access point. I can no longer sign in.  I'd like to change a few settings.  It is working fine, but just cannot sign in using mywifi web address etc or default IP address - 192.168.1.250 - Please help!

  • In AP mode, your router assigns an IP address to it. And sometimes the router doesn't forward the mywifiext address. 

    So log into your primary router and look at its attached devices list (or equivalent) for the extender. It should list the extender and what IP address it assigned to it. use that to access it.

      That's brilliant, worked first time - I hope Net gear add this advice to their help pages!  Many thanks my friend!
