In case you are unable to access the extender via www.mywifiext.net login page, make use of this IP address.
Think for a moment about what that means!
IP address, Internet address or Internet Protocol address. Whatever you call it, this is what links you to the world.
What? You don’t know at all what an IP address is meant for?
Well, no need to worry. Most of the millions of computer users don’t know either, that’s completely ok.
In simple words, an IP address is your passport to the internet. Technically speaking, it is a unique string of numbers differentiated by full stops which recognize each computer using the internet protocol for communicating over a network.
So this puts your way ahead of the curve.
All you have to do is just open an internet browser and write 192.168.1.250 in the address field. But what’s that? An error message pops up.
It often happens. Whenever anyone tries to access the new extender setup page through the IP address, an error popup shows ‘the site can’t be reached’. If you are also getting the same message, don’t get hyper or frustrated. Just stay on this post and read how to fix this issue on your own.
Why I am getting issues with 192.168.1.250?
Login and connectivity problems are one of the most common issues experienced by Netgear users. These problems can be very big or too small depending on your handling level. In case you handle them calmly, there is nothing to worry about. On the other hand, they can prove major if you handle them impatiently.
You experience the issues with this IP because it is a private address and cannot be accessed outside the range of private networks.
Now what is this private address? Let us explain.
A private address stands for IP packets that can only be addressed from a private range and coverage. Public internet is not able to broadcast such packets. For the purpose of connecting a private network to the internet, NAT or Network Address Translator is being used. 192.168.1.250 is specified under the category of RFC 1918 standard protocols.
