Whether you want to set up your extender for the first time or are trying to log in to change its settings, you should use the URL mywifiext.net to log in. But what if you can’t connect to www.mywifiext.net? Read this post if you are looking for solutions for the same.
Can’t Connect to www.mywifiext.net: Resolved
Mywifiext.net is a local URL that works only in the local network. That means you should be on the extender’s network while you are trying to log in to your extender using mywifiext. Thus, the very first thing that you should verify is the network connection.
Check the Network You’re Connected to
If it is a laptop or computer or phone on which you are logging in, then go to its WiFi settings. See which network it is using. Ensure that you’ve selected Netgear_EXT. If it is some other WiFithen disconnect from that one and join your extender’s network. You can now easily access the Netgear extender login URL.
Make a LAN Connection
If the WiFi connection is not stable or fails due to some reasons then also you won’t connect to www.mywifiext.net. You are advised to connect your computer or laptop using a LAN connection. Wired connections should always be preferred as the chances of network disconnections are reduced.
Use Another Browser
See to it that you have put to use a supported internet browser to access the extender URL. Besides, make use of an up-to-date internet browser. Use another browser that’s installed on your PC to log in now. We suggest you clear the cache and cookies beforehand. Avoid using the search bar of the browser to type the web URL. Use only the address field.
There’s a possibility that you still cannot access the extender login page.We suggest you check if any other device can connect to your extender network or not. Also, use the IP of the extender to log in. If the connection fails or even the IP does not let you reach the login interface, then you should try the solutions listed ahead.

Unplug your Netgear WiFi extender and plug it back in only after you have waited for a couple of minutes. This restarts your extender. Now connect to its network and visit mywifiext.net on a browser.

Therefore, check the same by try plugging in your Netgear wireless extender into another available wall socket. Do not forget to check the power adapter. It mustn’t be damaged or loosely connected.
3. Fix Extender to Router Connection

In case it is a wireless connection then reduce the distance between them. Also, if there are other electronic devices or home appliances nearby, try moving them away to reduce signal interference.
If you have connected the devices using a LAN cable then check the cable condition. See that it is well intact into the respective ports.
4. Reset Netgear Extender
