You said you were trying to set it up through your phone.
have you tried a pc/laptop? Or a different browser?
you can also try the address 192.168.1.250
that'll be the extenders default ip address when its not setup.

1. what router are you connecting it to?
2. what firmware is on the extender?
3. you factory reset the extender? Pushed and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on?

1. The router I am connecting to is a Mediacom hitron modem/router combo. The extender had been working for months off of it, until the modem/router was reset remotely by Mediacom, and they changed the wifi name from upper case to lower case.
2. I am not familiar with firmware or how to check this, as the extender has no plugs. It is wireless only.
3. Yes. It is now seen as NETGEAR_EXT.
4. Yes. No matter the device connected to my extender, it will not display the local network set up page.

It seem after a few days of trying it for no obvious reason started working again. The page displays now on my devices. Not sure how or why but Im glad it is working. If the solution becomes apperant to me I will update with the cause of how it was fixed. Thanks to all who reached out with advice/tips!
