Nighthawk EX7700 not connecting
Hi I have a Nighthawk X6 AC2200 wifi extender - Model EX7700. It used to work in the past. We had it positioned one floor above the router, and it successfully extended the signal to the top floor...
Your extender has successfully connected to your existing WiFi network.
Connect any WiFi enabled device like you would connect them to your main network, using the credentials below.
Apologies for the mistake. I did reset the extender but unfortunately this does not change the fact that it no longer has a NETGEAR_EXT network. It is still stuck on the One Network option.
See pages 41-42
To log in to the extender and reset the extender’s factory settings: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your extender network. 2. Log in to your extender:
• If you did not enable the One WiFi Name feature, enter xxx in the address field of the browser.
• If you enabled the One WiFi Name feature, enter one of the following URLs:
Windows-based computers. http://mywifiext or http://mywifiext.local -
Mac computers, iOS devices, and Linux devices. http://mywifiext. local -
So I am still stuck trying and failing to access http://mywifiext.local
