Can not get http://mywifiext to come up Ac1200 Wifi Range Extender
Hi,
I have attempted for WPS and the Installation Assistant for my extender. I have went through all the steps MULTIPLE times. The extender is connected to my router correctly and shows in my network list. I have also reset the extender. My problem is that I can not get the configuration page to come up at http://mywifiext. I get a webpage that simply says I am not connected to the extender, after connecting in wifi settings correctly!
I am running windows 10 and my router is a CenturyLink router Model C4000LZ. Can someone please help me?

log into the router and look at the attached devices list. find the IP address for the extender and use that. The router has to translate the mywifiext address and isn't directing it to the extender.

The router does never resolve these extender local DNS hosts, only the extender does handle this if it does discover the plain text DNS query. Said this: If your wireless device does use a secured DNS channel, the extender will never see the query.
In summary if the device is connected to the extender it works fine using the mywifiext and if not, use its IP address.
