Unable to connect
My Netgear extender says unable to connect when I start my computer. My router is downstairs with my main computer and I have an office computer upstairs. I have an extender to give a good signal ups...

Thanks for following up and apologies for the silence. No change, occasionally it will connect when I request, but never automatically, Mostly it will connect if I power off the extender & restart it, but thats a pain. So the solution has been to buy a TP Link extender which works well. Does anyone want a little used Netgear extender!?

What extender model do you have?
