A7000 has no IP address
I'm having a problem with connections to the internet. IPCONFIG does not show an IP address for the A7000. I am going to try a solution I saw in the community.

Is your extender in your house or in your garage?
If the signal in your garage is to weak and your extender is plugged in there, it doesn't matter how great its broadcasting as it can't connect back to the router decent. That connection from your extender to your router is the important one.
You won't get an IP address for your A7000 if the extender doesn't have one to give out (it gets them from the router).

1. Hope the solution you try works.
2. Is it only this device?
3. did you try uninstalling drives and reinstalling them?
4. Is it isolated to a specific device are does it do it to all the devices you plug the A7000 into?
5. Are any of the other devices on the network down?
6. Try rebooting the router?

Network has a Nighthawk C7000v2 router, EX7000 Extender, A7000 USB adapter software version. The A7000 is the only one with this issue.
When I uninstalled drivers and reinstalled it it crashed Win 10. Cant get system back up.
Router was rebooted.
No other devices are down.
When I installed the A7000 on this laptop in crashed and went into recovery mode.
I think there is a problem with the driver.
