EX8000

Thanks for answering back. Yes I did. That went through no problem. And I'm pretty sure my wireless device (Phone) connected to it. I have one seperate WiFi name on it for my automation devices (smart home devices)jthat I don't have on my main router. Once it is set up, that name is listed on my phone to hook to and it does. My smart devices seem to be hooked up to that name and working. Even the phone appears to be working of the internet. I hit on a video from a social media site and it played no problem. The client link light is a solid white, showing it's hooked to a WiFi device. Just no Link Status or Maximum Throughout. Is it possible that they don't light up when hooked up directly with an Ethernet Cable? My confusion started prior to switching to the cable hook up. Those same two lights where not on and I wasn't getting any connection. Nor could I get it to connect. Which is why I tried the cable method. Even on the dashboard of the extender, it says I do not have a connection, but they may be referring to wireless. I'm not sure. And by the way if I didn't mention it, the main router is a Netgear Nighthawk X6  AC3200, model R8000. I tried to purchase what I thought would be the most compatable units. Thanks again for any help.
