Can’t Connect Locally to Extender to Change Router

I bought a new router and need to connect my WN3000RP extender to the new network.  I need to do it manually since Google WiFi doesn’t support WPS.  I’ve reset the extender to factory and am trying to connect my iPad to the network NETGEAR_EXT locally.  It comes up like it’s going to connect but then doesn’t stay connected.  The screen says:

 

Captive.apple.com

NETGEAR_EXT

Login.                              Cancel

 

Nothing happens from there.  There is no screen to enter a userid or password (I know I shouldn’t need one) and it does nothing after that.  If I move from that screen, I revert to LTE or the new Google WiFi network I set up.

 

How can I get connected to change the extender to the new network?

Model: WN3000RP|Universal WiFi Range Extender

Have you tried to use a different web browser?
