I've been trying to setup a new extender for two days
Glad I came across this.
I've been trying to setup a new extender for two days.
My old netgear extender is still showing up in my wireless list. 5GEXT AND 2GEXT
Can't get the new one to show on the list.
Using WPS button, so I guess the new one is buried behind my main network SSDI.
If so, how do I find the extender so I know its there?
Gotta be a way.
Thanks so much!

If the new extender is connected to the primary WiFi system, it will appear on the list of Attached Devices. The MAC address should match a MAC address printed on the extender label and a connection to the IP address should bring up the extender web management interface.
Jumped on a conversation over a year old. Maybe start a new post with more details.
LIke what router you have, what extender you have, how you're setting it up, the errors you're getting, etc.
the more you tell us, the better we can help. And CrimpOn is correct in your routers attached devices list can help you find the extenders IP address.
