Connecting Device to Nighthawk X6S extender

I bought a Nighthawk X6S extender.  I connected it to my Nighthawk X6 wifi router and I can't find the extender on any of my devices. Seems like it's connected properly. Can anyone help me please?  Thanks

The EX won't show as a device on your connected devices. 

The EX should appear on the routers connected devices web page though.

Thanks for the reply.  I am trying to log into the extender and I believe a device has to be connected to the extender to do that.  It seems like no ne of my devices are connected to the extender so I can't log into it.

Devices don't have to be connected to the extender to log in to it.

 

Find the IP address for the extender under the connected clients list on the main host router. Use this IP address in a web browser to connect to the extenders web page.
