Use www.mywifiext.net when One WiFi Name is off. With one shared SSID, use the local hostname or assigned extender IP according to the client platform. Administrator recovery is handled through the security questions created during setup.

Local-management note: mywifiext.net and mywifiext.local are local extender addresses on compatible models, not ordinary public Internet websites. Powerline-only models use a different management workflow.

Factory reset: expect personalised network, security and administrator settings to be removed. Record anything important before resetting.

A red Router Link indicates poor placement; move the extender toward the router.
