Computer suddenly unable to connect to EX2700
Using NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender EX2700
and a Belkin N300 Wireless USB Adapter
I reinstalled windows to an SSD, and was able to connect to the extender through the windows installation wizard. Worked well even after finishing the install.
I did one more reset after updating my gpu drivers and now suddenly I can't connect to the extender. I can connect directly to the router, and my phone is currently using the extender.
Not sure what the problem is since my phone and nintendo switch are using the extender just fine, as well as my computer was awhile ago (with a fresh install of windows 10 no less).
I have reset the extender and my router twice, rebooted, but nothing. "No internet, secured" is what it tells me.
Things ive tried:
Update extender firmware
Update Windows 10
Reboot router/extender (tried in different manners i.e. unplug extender and wait for router to fully reset)
Reset network settings
Renew IP address
Tried different USB ports for adapter (starting to run out of ideas here)
3 days later and I'm at a total loss, and frankly a little frustrated. I depend on the extender for a stable connection, and it seems as though it just randomly decided it doesn't like my computer, and only my computer. I appreciate any ideas on how to fix this, I will try anything at this point.

Usually when all devices except for 1 are working fine, it tends to be the device that isn't working. Not the extender. This seems to point even more in that direct if it was working prior.
What belkin adapter are you using?
Some require the drivers to be installed in a particular order and without the adapter plugged in.
Have you tried uninstalling the drivers and letting windows self install the drivers?
Or look it up on the belkin website the proper order and drivers for that specific device?
