If your computer has enabled the firewall and any other antivirus software in it, it may be the reason that you are denied from the re.rockspace.local interface. You need to disable them as soon as you can from using the Control Panel of your windows.
  5. An incorrect IP address of the computer may also lead to the re.rockspace.local issue. 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. If the DHCP function is disabled in your re.rockspace.local extender, you may have to manually assign the IP address to the computer.
  6. Re.rockspcace.local allows some of the browsers to interact with its web utility page. A user has to make sure that he is accessing the re.rockspace.local interface, only through the authorized browsers. Google Chrome, Mozilla and Edge are such browsers with which a user can interact with the Rockspace Wi-fi extender.
  7. Sometimes when the memory of the browser gets packed up with the downloaded or browser history, it may also become the reason for the re.rockspace.local failure issue. A user is recommended to clean up the cache or history of the browser through its settings tab to avoid such issues.
  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.

Note: If all the troubleshooting steps fail, you may have to restore the factory settings into the range extender.
