Hi Christian,

What do you mean by, 'once you are able to get into the extender's UI.' By this, do you mean access the http://www.mywifiext.net/

page? How do I do the method: Setup>Internet Setup, to ensure that my Internet IP address is set to "Get Dynamically IP Address From Router" is enabled?

Is this done someplace within the windows OS control panel? Or elsewhere?

Thanks

  Hi fflanders,
  
  Correct. Please use http://www.mywifiext.net/ to access the extender's admin page. Once logged into the admin page, please click Setup and then click Internet Setup. After, please click on Get Dynamically IP Address From Router.

    I can only login with one device, my tablet, and when I do, the screen says at the top:
    'Your Wifi extender connection is up and running.' Beneath that is a image depicting the router, the extender, and various device.
    Beneath that, a blue button, which says, "SMART SETUP." and then beneath that, various information, such as hardware version, firmware version, and on and on.
    
    If I click on "SMART SETUP," it is basically a do-over of the entire setup process, asking me to "select an existing network you would like to extend."
    
    If I do this, I would have to be in the same room as the router, so I have optimal conditions for connectivity to the router.
    
    Is this the only way to find Internet Setup. After, please click on Get Dynamically IP Address From Router. ?
    Or am I missing something?
    
    Thanks
