/ia_hijack.htm
I apologise in advance for a very dumb/newbie question.
When I am trying to connect my Netgear AC1200 WiFi Ext to my new Router, I type in wifiext.net and when I enter it comes up with the extension of /ia_hijack.htm next to it and asking for my admin and password.
Now as I am not computer literate at all and to remove my paranoia, is this normal for set up? I am not opening up my network to anyone am I? The word hijack in it just has me confused.
Again apologies for the dumb question and don't laugh at me too much please. :)
During the extender installation, or in case the extender was not able to connect to the primary router, it'll often takes you to to URLs like http://www.mywifiext.net/start.htm or http://www.mywifiext.net/IA_hijack.htm ... Note: This is the correct URL 8-)
