WiFi extender setup not completed

I am in the middle of the set up of the wifi extender where I'm told to connect my devices to the new extender, when it timed out and I can not get back to that page to know what to do next.  Is the extender ready for use since I was successful connecting to it?  If so, is it safe to move it away from the router and start using it elsewhere in the house?

Thank you.  Even though I read that I have 90 free support, there is absolutely no way to find a number to call.

Look for the extender's IP address in your router's attached device list.  Then enter that IP address in your browser.  That should bring you to the extender's web page, so you can review the setup.

Thank you for the help, but I don't know how to locate my router's attached device list.  I've looked around in the control panel under the wireless network, but I did not see anything that said attached device list. Though the extender appears to be working very well, I'm thinking that knowing its IP address would be important at some point.

It would be on the router's web page, not in the Windows control panel.

 

What router do you have (manufacturer and model)?

Hi @bermbos19,

 

Have you tried looking for the extended signal (usually similar to the main with _EXT) and connecting to it?

 

Regards,

Yes!  I've been using it.  Just thought it would be a good idea to know the IP address.  Thank you for replying.

If you provide the manufacturer/model of the router, then perhaps we can look up how to get to the attached device list for you.
