Thx. Lots of folks here have had trouble with that firmware. I suggest that you try downgrading to 1.0.0.66. Then do another reset, and see if that solves it. https://kb.netgear.com/000059563/EX7000-Firmware-Version-1-0-0-66

Do you know what firmware you are running?
Can you connect a laptop to the ethernet port? If you can, then try browsing to www.mywifiext.net (which is the extender's web page), and see if that shows the extender connected to the router.
Firmware should be BIOS
right now i have my pc connected thorugh ethernet and connected to my normal wifi. and yes it shows normal wifi connected to extender, all green

I'm asking what firmware is running in the extender.
If you can connect the PC ethernet to the extender (and turn the PC wifi off), then it would be helpful if you can browse to www.mywifiext.net. That will take you to the extender's web UI. From there you can see the extender's firmware version, and also the status of the extender->router network. Also, it would be useful to know if the PC can reach the internet when you connect it that way.
