If you are trying to log into the WN3000RP via Wi-Fi, then you must be joined to its Wi-Fi network in order for mywifiext.net to work. If the extender is broadcasting the same SSID name as your main router, then a Wi-Fi client has a choice between joining via the extender or router. If a client joins via the router, then mywifext.net won't work.
If you didn't wire the WN3000RP directly to the main router, then you can connect a computer to the extender's Ethernet port. mywifiext.net should work.

Please say things in plain English because I'm computer illiterate, please try your best. Thank You.
