Thank You,I did do all that several times.It does show me having a connection with 5 full bars with the wi-fi address my routers name and the _ext next to it.It also keeps connecting to my same wi-fi address without the _ext next to it and it does not matter if I uncheck the "connect automatically" box or not.I even have the genie installed and that shows a great signal.I just do not have a netgear modem but I have Timewarners.I,m just stumped.It actually works better with both connected.

What works better with both connected?

I meant my wi-fi worked better with 2 signals from the same source with the same modem address.After reading your info i went ahead and reset the net gear extender one more time and started all over from scratch.it now works even better plus i moved it about 10 feet closer to the modem even though i had all green lights.And this time when I used the auto setup i also set up the modems addresse and my PC.Everything is now linked as one compete unit..Thank You for such a fast reply back yesterday.It really helped me out.
