ex2700 won't connect to mywifi.net after router change
Was working perfectly before router change. Power, Device & WPS lights all Green....Router light Red... All devices connect to WiFi Extender wifi network and Internet but None will connect to Extender via mywifiext. Want to check version & possibly update firmware

Of course - the extender must be linked to the new router resp. it's different SSID (wireless network name) and security key (wireless password).
The extender must be re-configured like every other wireless device if the network has changed. Don't know why, one day I will understand why people don't change the new wireless router to the "old" network name and security - it could be so easy...
All devices connect to WiFi Extender wifi network and Internet but None will connect to Extender via mywifiext.
Of course again. At this state, that's about as useful as a network cable just connected into the computer or a switch - without a connection to the router, there is no network, no Internet, ...

Network name & password is the same. All devices Have Internet & are connected to network_ext...... But I can't connect to mywifiext on any device with any browser!
Re: ex2700 won't connect to mywifi.net after router change
Confused. Initially you stated router light red (what would indicate a non-working link to the primar router). So wild guess the wireless clients connected to the _ext would not get an IP config, lack of a connection to the DHCP server on the primary router, too.
A typical cause why the browser can't connect to the mywifiext.[net|com] would be that the IP addresses are not in the same subnet. Probably the extender fall-back on the default 192.168.1.250IP address, while the wireless devices might fall back to zeroconf 169.254.x.x subnet for example.
