Wifi Range Extender not allowing access to other wifi networks (Starbucks/airports free wifi)

Ever since installing my wifi range extender, when I try to log on to other wifi networks at coffee shops, airports, hotels, etc...I'm never able to reach the access page provided by the wifi network I'm trying to connect to - I'm automatically forwarded to the "This site cannot be reached page" as it's trying to access wifiext.net 

 

Is there a setting I can change remotely that will allow me to have access to these other wifi networks?

Hello Derjohns7

 

Sounds like a setting messed up in the Pcs wireless settings you could try forge ting the network of the extender and then try to connect to another network.
