I am far from any computer amateur and cant set up my range extender.

I know that Netgear's community is a mess, but asking about range extenders in a section given over to WiFi Adapters may not be the best move.

Range extenders and WiFi Adapters are very different beasts.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

WiFi Range Extenders & Nighthawk Mesh - NETGEAR Communities

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
