Admin site seems to have been compromised

I'm just posting this in case others are confused as I was.
I've just been setting up a wifi extender. The instructions say to do things like changing the name of the extended network at http://tplinkextender.net/
When I go to that URL it's a phishing site which my antivirus program wouldn't let me go into. Same on multiple browsers.
I raised this with TP-link tech support who didn't seem concerned about the phishing site but told me that the URL is not available once your extended network is running correctly.
"once the extender successfully setup the IP address will change so the http://tplinkextender.net/ will not be acessible anymore."
I asked what if I want to change the name of the network for example. He said you have to reset the extender.
"the URL will be fine if the main router is turned off so that the DHCP is disabled."
So that's the explanation. I'm just posting it here in case anyone else tries to go to the URL and gets a shop site that tries to install malware. I hope TP-Link can do something about it but the person I spoke to didn't seem concerned.
