I just want to make sure I understand your question.
Are you unable to connect to the wireless network being broadcasted by the extender? or are you unable to connect the extender to the wireless network broadcasted by the main wireless router?
I would assume that you cannot even connect to the extender's wireless network because you said you cannot access the settings of the extender using the mywifiext.net url on your browser.
Did you directly connect your computer to the extender with an ethernet cord and tried accessing mywifiext.net?
Are you getting an IPv4 address that starts with 192.168.x.x on the Local Area connection of your computer when you connect it to the extender with an ethernet cord?
if you are getting a valid IPv4 address when you are connected to the extender. Get the Default Gateway IP Address then try using that to access the settings. so instead of typing in http://www.mywifiext.net on your browser, type the IP Address of the extender or the Default gateway IP Address that can be found on computer's Local Area Connection property, given that this computer is connected to the extender with an ETHERNET CORD.
If you can access the settings then try to run the setup wizard again and follow through the setup process.
if it does not work. Just let us know again..
