Netgear EX 6400 V3 extender
Trying to set up the extender to a Netgear RAX70 Router. I have tried WPS and manual connection, and the only way I can get into it is with an Ethernet cable. I got it registered and programmed it ...

Thank you very much for your reply.
I set the extender up again with WPS and moved it to the area where my signal was bad.
Now I can access the internet and sites without a problem, where I couldn't do that before.
I had never used a mesh anything and didn't know what it was or how it worked.
I have a neighbor who is looking at this same extender, so I will pass information on to him.
Thank you again.

Thank you for that information; you are correct about who I talked to. After checking that number, it was a scam but they made it look like a real Netgear support site.
I reset the unit to extender from Access Point. I don't know if it came like that or I had fat fingered it?
I went through the WEP setup and can now see the extender wireless without the 0X61011 error coming up.
I am confused about not being able to see it on my router's attached devices or on available networks, so I can connect directly to the extender.?
It's been a long time since I used an extender so thinking things may have changed.
Thanks again for the information.
Very much appreciated.

That extender is a mesh extender. Meaning if you set it up in default or wps mode, it'll use the exact same ssid as the router and not show up separately. You can disable that if you access it.
You're not able to see it in your connected devices through the router? What router is it? It might not show up with the same name depending on how the router identifies it.
What are the led's on the extender showing? There's a device and a router light.
