Hi folks.
I have a Netgear DGN2200v2 DSL Router and a WN3000RP range extender.
Everything worked fine until I altered the DNS server addresses on the router in order to access Netflix US from the UK.
After that screwed everything up, I put the DNS server addresses back to that of Google > 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
The range extender is connected to the router and the home network - and all 4 LEDs on the front of the unit are GREEN.
I can connect to the range extender OK but cannot access the internet through it.
I have been onto the extender's web page "MyWiFiExt.net" ONCE and connected the extender to the network - but since then, I cannot access it subsequently. Browser
is Firefox 33.1.1
Typing http://www.mywifiext.net, www.mywifiext.net (no http) or
mywifiext.net (no www) makes no difference, nor does typing in the URL
http://192.168.1.250
I have also tried using both Opera and Chrome. Nothing I enter in my browser's address bar makes any difference.
So, can anyone help?
I have flushed the browser cache and restarted the browser and the wireless laptop is obtaining an IP via DHCP - all to no avail.
Not tried a "factory reset" yet - could this work?
Also not tried a direct connection via Ethernet cable from laptop to extender. Again, could this help?
Thanks in advance,
XRD
