WN3000RP - can't access mywifiext.net
If I type http://www.mywifiext.net in to FireFox, I get automatically redirected to http://support.netgear.com/

I had the same problem until I realized that the extender setup can only be accessed from the extender's network (extender WiFi SSID or extender ethernet port). You cannot access the extender setup from upstream connections like connections to your main router. Must be a security feature.
