Thanks, Darren, for help. Yes, I've reset numerous times with the same result. Maybe too many resets. If the extender can be seen logging into the C7000 gateway using Netgear Genie and displays in the Network Map as EX6150 with an IP: 198.162.0.22, we must be close.

Hello fjkndy
have you tried to add those mac address to the allowed list on the router?
