Range Extender(EXS25) Management When Extending Guest Network
I have an EXS25 set up to extend my Guest network and now that it's successfully joined I can not get access to view or manage its configuration via the Nighthawk app or browser.
Is there a way to connect over wifi or would I need to connect if via an ethernet cable?

log into your primary router and look at its attached devices page for the IP address of the extender.
Use that address to access it.

Tried both the 2.5 and 5ghz ip address and neither works.

I was finally able to get connected and logged into the extender. I'm not sure why but I had to connect via the LAN port on the extender and run through the setup again. It's very odd because the extender was connected to my existing router/network and working. The client light was on and the device I was having trouble with was connected and working.
