Using EX6100 with a New Router

Hello,

 

I purchased a new Linksys router and want to use the 3 EX61000 extenders with this router.  However, I can't seem to make the extenders work.  I try factory reset but the same old information appears on my network.  I keep reading the instructions on line that talk about the Genie and logging into http://www.mywifext.net.  I don't think I've ever seen the Genie software with any of my 3 extenders.  Every time I try to log into the url given, all 3 of my browsers (Edge, IE, Chrome) indicates that the page can't be displayed or reached.

 

Are these extenders now useless?

 

Thank you.

    Hello gcdyer

     

    When resetting the extenders make sure you hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds it should wipe all the old router info out of them.
