Problem Accessing MyWifiext.net and http://192.168.1.250/
Hi Folks, First post - please be gentle. Got a Netgear DGN2200v3 N300 DSL router and WN3000RP range extender. Everything worked fine until I altered the DNS settings on the router. That is n...
UPDATE 2:
OK, so I found out that if I connect to the Extender's network first, I can then access the Netgear Genie webpage for the Extender (picture attached below) via "mywifiext.net".
However, the Extender still cannot access the internet and running the network troubleshooter identifies a problem with the DNS (hardly a surprise given the history of this problem)!
So, looking at all of the options in the Extender's interface, there seems to be no way to alter the DNS settings. As the Extender is getting its IP from the DGN2200 Router via DHCP is the problem with (a) the Extender, (b) the Router (c) the NIC in my laptoop??
Extender Firmware is version V1.0.1.36_1_1.47
Any idea as to how to resolve the lack of communication with the internet from the Extender?
Cheers
