Netgear Genie not able to talk to extender
I connected the extender to my old WiFi router a long time ago. I have a new router, so I want to connect the extender to it. When I started the Genie, it was stuck on Review Settings. I tried to us...

Start by power-cycling. If you still can't connect, then the next step is to do a factory reset on the extender.
BTW, one option is to set up your new router to use the same network name and passphrase as the old one You'd also need to match the security mode (likely WPA2-PSK). So you could try that.
