I have a Netgear N300/WN2000RPT wireless Extender and I am having trouble getting to its initial configuration page.
The instructions to configure the device are:
- Power on the device.
- Connect a computer to the device with cat5 cable.
- In a browser go to
http://www.mywifiext.net
and follow the onscreen directions.
The problem is, Visiting http://www.mywifiext.net
in any browser results in a page not found and or page timeout.

.mywifiext.com
instead ofmywifiext.net
. This works sometimes.Lightning strikes and can wreck a router just as much as a computer. Try a different router. laugh out loud at at the invisible hand of the market pricing Netgear routers much lower, so their inventory moves. It's the printer-ink pricing model, but for routers.
