A7000 / AC1900 NightHawk Extender No longer connecting at all
I have been using this successfully on my computer for the past 2 or so years. The network page is completely blank on the Genie, and The WPS button connection doesn't work either. I have tried over ...
I resorted to resetting my PC today (all files and apps), and the extender is now working again. The network list displayed as usual and connected with no issue as of yet. Not sure what was causing the issue prior.
Hey, the router is an Xfinity Arris. I am on Windows 11 using an HP PC desktop model M01-F1xxx. I do believe it was also after the recent software update which happened to the other user here. I don't have another PC or router to try. The Genie list where it shows available networks is completely blank even after refreshing. My WIFI is working fine on the built in computers receiver, albeit slower than the extender was when it was working.
I really do hope someone in Netgear can contact the appropriate department to see if we reconsider the cancellation of future updates for it.

Down to Windows then. No surprise there.
Just another user with time on their hands.
Yea not sure what happened as it's the same version of Windows. I am glad it doesn't seem to be hardware or software related for the netgear as I thought, because everything was working despite it.
