Is there a simple, correct way to connect a Fios router to this extender? The Netgear instructions are invalid, as none of the referenced "choices" are available on the site "mywifiext.net".
Any help is appreciated.
Follow the steps for connecting the ex2700 range extender device.
Start connecting both devices with each other. Your process is completed.
I recently helped my neighbor set up his which is an older one and I had to connect to it as a wireless network then log in with the website mywifiext.net then just followed the setup as it told me to do.
If it has an ethernet port you can plug it into your computer and set it up that way too.
User name is probably admin and password is probably password or admin.
Thank you, for your reply, but the "mywifiext.net" just does not have the "links" that the instructions show.

Try the above link.
Netgear extenders are built for easy setup and auto configuration.
read the set up and or look at the way to actually setup. I have the higher level one but it was just a five minute setup via the instructions.
no website to visit, no issues.
Thank you. I'll give it the old college try.
Once you connect to the extender via ethernet or wifi. mywifiext.net will take you to the extedner’s local setup page. It’s not a website that you go to. You have to be connected to the extender first. Then go to that page.
Hi Roger,
Let me explain as best I can. I am not a Vz employee, I called them for a wireless extender recommendation. "Most anyone will do just fine, 2.4GHz model for less than $40. No need for bells and whistles". However, put simply: The Netgear N300 Wifi Range Extender, Model EX2700, Amazon's Choice, WILL NOT WORK with your Actiontec M1424WR Router (Rev I) without a physical hook up to Cat5e cable. I won't get into how a firware update could possibly enable the WPS button, etc.... It simply will not work wirelessly. Which is something you would think should not escape Vz's notice, given the popularity of the N300. I hooked up the cable, plugged it in, used my Samsung phone's Wifi Setup to create the network extension. You need the 16 character Router Password to do so. THEN you can log onto www.mywifiext.net and finish connecting the device to the network. The new network will be your exisitng network's name with an underscore and EXT following it. I have been trudging through this crap since MS-DOS/WFW3.11, and top modem speeds were 2400 baud. If I did not have the 50' Cat 5e sitting around, I don't think I would have gone this route. This is by far the cheapest method, but not the easiest. Good luck. RJM
