Netgear wifi extender not connecting
I factory reset it 5 times, I’ve had it for two years and it all of a sudden, it isn’t connecting to the internet. I used my Ethernet cable to connect it to my pc, and all it’s saying is action needed...

are you setting it up with WPS or how are you connecting it to the router?
If you set it up with wps, factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.
Here's a video of how to use the assistant.
