Why is this? And how can it be solved easily?

If it works, log into the R8000. the ex8000 should be listed under connected devices with an IP address. use that address to log into it. If that's an ok method for you, you're good. If you want to resolve it so you can use the mywifi.ext here's a troubleshooting on this issue from netgear.

Hi Plemans,

THank you for the quick reply. The EX8000 does not appear to be listed. That's what I find strange. They don;t recognise each other.

And thank you for the link. I wil read and see if I can get it worked out.

Thanks again.

  Hi,
  
  No I did not. Stranger thing is, it started nog being accesable after an firmware update. Also the Ex7300 I have has no problem.

    Hello Mfrer,
    
    Would you mind factory resetting the extender and running through the setup instructions? Please let us know the outcome.
