Not a secure connection

AC1200 EXT6200 extender - Can connect to the internet thru the extender both wireless and with an ethernet connection.

when trying to log on to "www.mywifiext.net" my IE says it is an unsecure connection and won't allow it. i have added it to my trusted sites and given it all the permissions and it still won't allow it. takes me to the log in page  for a user name and password which i don't have since i haven't set one up yet. have used Internet Explorer and Fire Fox, neither go to the setup page.

 

any suggestions? do i really need to set up the extender?

 

  • it took resetting the extenter 5 times to get it to sync up but it finally did.

    finally allowed me to go to the set up page.

    Try admin/password for the login that is the default.

        Hello NG17

         

        You would have to factory reset the unit and do the setup again if the login is not working.
