Nighthawk Netgear Extender AC1900 Connection Problems

[Eddeoh]

I'm having issues connecting my Extender to the internet. The 2.4/5G lights light up and I am able to connect to some site like youtube and google but most sites don't allow me to connect to the internet. I am unable to go on the mywifiext to make any changes. I am working on a mac and am unable to connect the router directly to my computer.

Hi Eddeoh - Please ensure your extender is on the latest FW. After doing so, perform a factory reset and join the NETGEAR_EXT wifi network. After you connect to it, browse to www.mywifiext.net and follow the setup instructions.

Looks like this could be another another example of the problems associated with the latest firmware version, take a look at these threads:

Hope this helps a bit.
