Unable to connect via WPS or online
I have just pruchased this Wifi extender, and I tried connecting it to my router via the WPS button, I tried a number of times and it wouldn't connect. I checked and it is not using WEP security. Next I tried to go online and put in the website given, mywifiext.net, and when the page loaded all it said was I was not connected to the extender's wifi network, and when I typed it in again but this time www.mywifiext.net, the page wouldn't load at all so I can't do the setup.
I am unsure about to solve this issue and any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hey. I finally got connected. I did figure out that your wireless device and the extender need to be in the same room with your router at first. I took my laptop upstairs and plugged the ext into the wall. Then I clicked on the wifi address from your troubleshooting message and the page came up and I follwed the rest of the instuctions from page 8 of the instructions. Good luck

I just purchased this same item tonight, and I got the same message when I tried logging in. Have you gotten connected yet? I was pretty sure I could read until I bought this extender.
