I Am Unable to Log In to the WiFi Range Extender

If you are unable to log in to the WiFi range extender, check the following:
• If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the
computer and the extender as described in the previous section.
• If you have an Internet connection to the WiFi range extender, you can enter either of these
addresses to connect: http://www.mywifiext.net or http://www.mywifiext.com.
• If there is no Internet connection to the extender, you can connect your computer to the
extender, then open a Web browser on your computer and connect to http://192.168.1.250.
• Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is
admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter this
information.
• Typically, your computer's address should be in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
Refer to your computer's documentation for help with finding your computer's IP address.
If your computer's IP address is 169.254.x.x, verify that you have a good
connection from the computer to the extender, and then restart your computer.
• Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using
Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded. Try closing the
browser and starting it again.

The Internet Service Connection Is Not Working

If your WiFi range extender is unable to access the Internet, check that the Internet connection is
working, and then check that the WiFi range extender can get an Internet address.
