Nighthawk x4s

Extender was working great for 8 months but now no longer working. Only light on is power. I have reset but still nothing. Can't recognize router now which is a cisco. I have not changed any settings. 

Original set up was a nightmare but Netgear was able to help out. No longer under warranty and they want $90 to help.

    Are you trying to reinstall it using the wps method of install or using the smart installation wizard? 

    I'd highly recommend setting it up via the installation wizard when you're using a router from a different manufacturer.

      Can't locate the smart wizard. Do you have a link. I did the guided assistance but still can't connect.
