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

refreshed
, 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.
