HI,

Having issues getting a viabe internet connection when connected to the extender.

Hard to unravel what is going on here.

First, what is this TPLink Powerline extender? Is it a plain plug or one with a wifi access point built in? (I assume that you have already asked TPLink for help.) Is that the wifi we are talking a about?

What "issues" do you have?

Some sort of error message?

Is this it?

ie:  No internet, SECURE appears in my Wifi selection list.

Where do you see this Wifi selection list? A PC? Laptop? Something else?

What does that message actually say. It doesn't look like anything I have ever seen.

Am told I need to add the extenders MAC address to the wireless bridge in the Nighthawk.

Who told you that?

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems

Those things are very different from the standard Netgear routers covered in this section.

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
