Help with Extender/Router setup
Hi Everyone, So I have the current setup in my house. I use Comcast(Xfinity) as my provider and have a Motorola cable modem. The modem connects to a Netgear AC1750 Smart Wifi Router Model R6400v...

Garage Extender attached devices.
it could be the router lost its config because the extender isn't the only one outside of the 0.1-0.100 range.
Is there a reason you set a more narrow range?
It could be the storm corrupted something (not the first time I've seen that).
Or it could be the generator was a non-sine wave device and caused issues.
You might try factory resetting the router and re-doing its setup in case something was corrupt.
Plemans,
Great point! I did not even realize the others were also out of range - duh! I was so focused on the one. My generator is a classic older 8000W running one - not a sine wave one - it powers majority of the house (not HVAC and electric water heater).
As for the range, I figured 100 was plenty. We have around around 20 devices and when people are over and want to use the wifi - I figured that range was enough...
I will try a factory reset. The main router is on a surge protector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AI0NC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Let me know how it goes after the reset/reinstall.
