    going to need a little more info. 

    1. What router are you connecting it to? 

    2. firmware on the extender?

    3. how are you setting it up? using wps or the installation wizard?

    4. Where is it failing in the process. There's many steps and we're not there to see what you're doing, where its failing, the errors, etc. we need more info than "it won't connect". help us to help you.

      I was connecting to our local water treatment plants open wifi we live a few miles out of town so I don't have physical access to the router... so when Netgear set it up remotely view my computer about a year ago they somehow hooked up to the router and they were unable to connect to the Wi-Fi so since then family has been on my pc and wifi and now the router light forest come on ...all lightswork when u plug it in.......netgear only told me that it was cause of all the traffic is why it won't connect it would have to be cleaned out.

      And yes it has firmware on it but not updated ....i would update but can't with no wifi and another thing don't know if this means anything but the clock on the exstender is always the same when I try to rest factory setting March 3 2018 it says last time password was changed was in March but I know that's not true cause I've changed it a million times since then .....ps exstender was bought at a garage sale
