im gonna go ahead and order a new one.
did a little home work.
looks like all i need is the Netgear EX5000.
since i dont need mesh and only need to get about 75' outside a bedroom to a shed.
the 2018 EX7300 i had worked fine until it didnt LOL
wallmart wanted $54.00
fred myers had a same TP version for $44.00
found amazon had the EX5000 for $38.00 without prime.
simply wait 5 days.
but i did come across a EX6120 with the antennas for $38.00.
so im gonna get that one.
The EX6150 has antennas & mesh capabilities which i dont need.
hopefully the new updated version will fire right up.
thanks again for all the help i appreciate it.
maybe this experience thread will help somebody.
have a great day.

i do believe i am in over my head?
since these two extenders are 4-5 years old i wonder if its best just to throw them in the trash and go buy a new one?
or will the same problem persist?
i wonder if netgear does this on purpose so people like me are forced to go buy new products?
ive been messing with this for 2 days.
my head hurts.
thank you so much for trying to help.
i really do appreciate it.

Maybe, unless you can find a friend or family member to help you out some.
EAX series are newer generation wifi extenders.
