I ended up ordering a new Wi-Fi extender, different brand and it was simple to connect and is working great. I can only assume something crapped out with the netgear. I didn’t want to go with the pods in case I ever change network providers. Luckily it worked at half the cost of the pods

Or if there’s a way to get it manually added as a device to my gateway.
I’m about to give up and just get a Xfinity pod. I was just trying not to spend $120
