My Network List is displaying multiple IP addresses on it.

There are a number of possible network settings that could be the cause of several IPs showing up in your Netgear extender’s network list. Here, we’ll go over some of the most frequent causes of the trend and how to deal with them:

Diagnosis and Fixes

Multiple Devices Connected

Diagnosis: Every device—including computers, mobile phones, smart TVs, CCTV cameras, and more—that is linked to your WiFi extender’s network is given a unique IP address. To put it briefly, all devices will have its specific IP address.

Fixes: To make sure each IP address is linked with a device you recognize, look through the device list in your Netgear settings by using mywifiext.net. Also the presence of any unexplained devices could be evidence of someone else on your network.

Using a WiFi Extender or Secondary Router

Diagnose: It’s likely that a WiFi extender, mesh system, or a backup router can produce extra IP addresses for devices that switch between these access points.

Solutions: Verify that the network name netgear_ext is set up on all network devices. Also, it is correctly set up within the same subnet to stop IP duplication.

Firmware Issues

Reset Your Extender

Diagnosis: incorrect IP address lists, such as double or ghost IPs, may arise from a flaw in the extender firmware.

Fixes: Make sure the firmware on your extender is current. Then you can use the Nighthawk or MyNetgear apps to check for firmware changes.

Diagnosis: reset the extender is the last resort in cases where several IP addresses are visible on the network list. It will thus go back to its native IP address.

Fixing them: The query of how to reset the extender may now come. The reset button is on the bottom of your extender, and all you need to do is press it.

Conclusion

To put it simply, having a lot of IPs appear in your extender’s network list is typically a common occurrence that has to do with different devices or connectivity options. To address and overcome the problem, we addressed some of the main root causes and alternatives.
