Weird 404 error during set up
I am using my browser to install this device and it seems to be going okay until I get to the screen where it has identified my wifi network.
It says
Click the Continue button after you connect your WiFi devices.
After clicking continue I get a 404 error message that says 404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
I had this same problem. The reason I was getting kicked out of setup was my cable modem/router was reassigning my Netgear extender a new IP address during setup. Since I was accessing my extender through its default IP address ,(In my case, 192.168.1.250) once my cable router gave my extender a new IP address, I was given the 404 error or a timed out error. [Fiddler] The socket connection to 192.168.1.250 failed.
ErrorCode: 10060.
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 192.168.1.250:80The solution is to locate your extender's new IP address that your cable router gives to it. I went into my cable router, using my browser, and saw what addresses it was giving to my connected devices and simply guessed as to what the new address would be. My (Comcast) cable router IP address is 10.0.0.1. It gave my extender the IP address of 10.0.0.2. Once I guessed this and entered that address into my browser, I connected to my now setup router and all was well.

Can you post the URL? IIRC, there was one model that had a typo in the URL for the final step. I think it was supposed be a .com address but it had .net address.
Try switching off your extender, reboot your router then switch the extender on again and see if it connects. I was getting your error and this seemed to work for me and has been working for several days now although I have powered extender up and down a few times the first day to try the signal strength in different parts of the house. Pleased with device now and it has solved the problem I bought it for.
