The device or computer with which you are trying to access the re.rockspace.local window, must have an IP address assigned by the range extender. When the DHCP function is enabled, the IP address may get automatically assigned to the computer.

8. Make sure you are entering the correct login credentials on the Rockspace extender login window. Login credential fields are case-sensitive. Do not forget to hold the shift key while entering an uppercase letter and releasing the shift key while entering a lower case one.
