I have a netgear Nighthawk wifi mesh extender model is EX7000

Cannot access router through mywifiext and the nighthawk app won't recognize it. My web browser will not access it where I can change settings. Also I can't upgrade the firmware because this issue. Can anyone help. Thanks

  • What router do you have? 

    You should be able to log into the router and see what IP address the router assigned to the extender. Use that ip address to connect to the router.

      Thanks for the response but everytime I enter the ip address in the search bar it pops up blocking me stating " your connection is not private" and won't allow me to access

        try a different browser. 

        Or override the warning.
