trying to reset wifi extender
i have a netgear- ax1800 and i just had my wifi changed so its no longer connected to the internet but to be able set it up to the now correct internet i have to be connected to the devices network that has no wifi. How do i go through the process of connecting the device on the correct wifi. If i have to be connected to the device which has no wifi but i need wifi to be able to set it up. I have already factory reset it but like i stated before the NETGEAR_EXT has no internet so i cant set up anything because i need wifi to do so

Factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.
To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
Here's a video of how to use the assistant.
