Question
What can I do if I'm unable to access the w6b.local URL?
Answer
To access the Web Manager, launch a web browser, and enter https://w6b.local from a laptop or mobile device connected to the home network.  If the URL is not loading, try accessing the IP address of the extender assigned by the home Wi-Fi router's client list or ping the URL to identify the IP address.  This document contains the following sections for steps on each option:

Check Wi-Fi Router's Client List for IP Address
  1. Access the web manager of the home Wi-Fi router to locate the Client List.
     
  2. In this example, the W6B extender's name is W6Bxxxxxx and the IP address assigned by the Wi-Fi router is 192.168.0.165.
