Cant access wifi extender, but it provides access and works.

Dear #nerd friends ...

How come the wireless AP that extends my ADSL router WIFI at home across to the other house is not accessible? The wifi is extended and clients can login and access my dsl connection, however I cant manage it through the network on my side.

Seems like I have to actually connect to the AP's wifi before I can access it. Oddly though clients on this segment pull DHCP settings across, are able to ping one another etc. AP set to wireless extending and not access point.

Why cant I access the AP from my side of the network?

did you try access the device with Internet Explorer?

I've seen lots of devices that you cannot access them through Chrome or Firefox.

Hi There,
There was a post similar to this a few weeks ago. I think it resolved down to not being on the same subnet but I could be terribly wrong there.
