Connected via was. It finds cox router, tv gives me choices of 2.4 and 5.
I set it to 5. New Samsung TV.
It finds 5 but after a day or so, reverts to cox router, not 2.4 or 5.
I then have to go into tv settings to set back to ext...which sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Former tv had poor wifi cars so I got new tv, which is two small rooms from where router is. No impediments in the way, and 1 story house

You should be able to go into the tv and delete the old network so its not connecting to it.
Have you tried installing the extender using the installation assistant?
