    Hi blasia_baum, pandc,

     

    Please see page 10 of 47 to start the installation:

    http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EX6100/EX6100_UM_11Apr2014.pdf

     

    1. Please try connecting an ethernet cord from your computer to the EX6100.

    2. Once connected to the EX6100 (make sure you are not connected to any other internet network), then open a web browser and go to

    mywifiext.net or 192.168.1.250

    3. then complete the on screen instructions to setup your EX6100 to connect with your router.

    Once this setup is completed,
    If you choose to use the EX6100's WiFi network, then disconnect the ethernet cable from step 1 and connect to your new EX6100 WiFi network.
    If you choose to use the EX6100 ethernet network, then leave the ethernet cable connected.

      I am still having problems connecting.  Is 192.168.1.250 the only one that will work.  After following your instructions

      I end up with 192.1.168.1.4.  I am using Windows 10 with NETGEAR 6400 ROUTER.  PLEASE HELP.
