AC1200 turned into range extender

I've spent hours trying to change networks on an old AC1200 wifi that I turned into an extender.  I made it a repeater earlier,  now I want to change it to another network.  I cannot find the "netgear genie" website I used before to change the IP address to the new network.  Help!

    If you had it in extender mode, the router assigns an IP address. 

    You can use that ip address to access it. 

    Or simply factory reset it and start back at stock settings to put it in extender mode.
