Was unplugging wires and the wifi extender fell out from the wall, and now it doesnt turn on. I've tried different sockets in the house and nothing makes it seem to turn on. Any solutions? Can I get another extender or do I have to buy the set again?

are you within your warranty? If so, you can try getting it fixed/exchanged through netgear.
I've seen where a pin has broken off inside the adapter.
If you're not within your warranty, you could try taking it apart to see if its fixable.
Otherwise, Netgear sells their powerline adapters as sets. there's other companies that sell individual adapters that you can use. They just need to be the same spec as the netgear device. (powerline homeplug AV)
- Hey just wanted to update, since I'm not really experienced with electronics and repairing I decided to buy a new set. I'm just curious that if I can get the broken one repaired in some way, can I use it alongside the new set I bought?
- should be able to if the new set is compatible with that standard
