1. not sure what you mean "netgear security issue". Details help more than vague issues

1. Security issues mean previous app was not working at all. Can’t login. I deleted and reinstalled new app and register again.
2. Router model R7960P (AC 3600, X6S)
3. I can’t read firmware on extender now.
4.I tried both method of setup.
Extender LED are all blinking and also press factory reset button do not help.
Then tried with WPS still the same .
I followed the Net gear setup instructions.
Anything help will be really appreciated.
Thank you so much for replying me.

where is it failing in the process?
If you're using the installation assistant, it means you're connecting to the extender and should be able to view the firmware version in the gui.
Details a key, just saying it didn't work, doesn't help us. we needed details on where it failed in the process or what you were doing when it failed.

How to say detail more than that?
