  1. Verify the website’s URL

It’s likely that the website address you entered was incorrect. As a result, check that the URL address is typed correctly. Before pressing the Enter key on your keyboard, make sure to double-check your entree.

  1. Enter the Right Admin Information

Many people make the error of logging into their Netgear extenders with the incorrect username and password. See if you are still making the same error. If you are, then fix it by entering the proper login information when and where it is needed.
