Having trouble connecting the extender to home network.

[Jim2824]

Trouble connecting extender to home network- get as far as trying to “www.mywifiext.net” and can’t connect to NETGEAR Ext. Using IOS on iPad and log in with “www.mywifiext.net.local. Can,t get results using either login. Any help?

   "can't" is not a useful problem description.  It does not say what
you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.

   I'd expect "www.mywifiext.net" to work only if your (unspecified)
computer/device is connected to the extender, not if it's connected to
your (unspecified) router.

   I would not expect "www.mywifiext.net.local" to work in any case.

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.

   Note, too, that there's a specific forum for extenders:
