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.
Thanks.
I can confirm that after the factory reset, and the Power LED blinked amber, there is no WiFi network with the name (SSID) NEGEAR_EXT.
I can connect to the URL you mentioned ending in .net but that page just shows the following instructions.
To log in to your extender, enter one of the following URLs in your web browser depending on your device:
- ▪Windows: http://mywifiext
- ▪Mac OS X or iOS:http://mywifiext.local
- ▪Android: http://<extender's IP address>
- For more information, visit https://kb.netgear.com/000044735.
And since I am on a Mac, I am asked to visit mywifiext.local. Which as I say does not work.
