WN3000RPv3 Firm Ware update

I am using the extender in extender mode. What I meant by correct address was mywifiext. This thread won't let me add .net because it won't let me save it if it includes an internet address.

At this point I am going to admit defeat in trying to connect to and update the extender. It works so I will continue to use it with its current firmware version until it no longer functions. Thanks for your suggestions and time spent. I appreciate it very much.
