Find Extender’s IP Address
If your extender and router use the same WiFi network name (SSID) and you want to log in to
your extender using an Android device, you must use the extender’s IP address.
You can log in to your router to find your extender’s IP address. If you own a NETGEAR
router, use the following procedure to find the extender’s IP address. If you do not own a
NETGEAR router, see your router's documentation.
Note: The following instructions might not apply to your NETGEAR router.
For more information, see your NETGEAR router’s user manual.
To log in to your extender and find your extender’s IP address:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router
network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that
you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Attached Devices.
A list of devices connected to your router displays.
5. Find your extender in the list and note your extender’s IP address.
