 |
|
I am just curious... Why doesn't the Gixen page work with a Wifi Extender?
I recently bought a Wifi Extender and after installing it and connecting, all pages worked apart from Gixen. I know because I had a bid scheduled, so the page was open. I refreshed it three times, but it would not work. As soon as I connected to normal Wifi, it worked, but it is just weird because all other pages worked fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks! |

OK, I tried again and I could log in.
Then I tried to log out and it said that a network change had been detected and didn't do it, even if I hadn't done anything or gone back to normal Wifi.
I refreshed Chrome (not Gixen) and it did it. |

When you say , do you mean via the browser button?... Because that's generally not a good idea on the Gixen website, best to interact with the actual page for the function you are trying to achieve, e.g. the 'REFRESH' button.

| The only time Gixen looks at your public IP address is when you are re-authorizing on eBay. However WiFi extender should not affect this, the publicly facing IP should be the same. |

Yes, it's a bit strange. Not a big problem, just something I cannot explain. |
