AC1200 WiFi Router Model C6220 Wifi name does not match name on the router
The router I purchased has a Nework Name: NETGEAR 18. When I search for available networks I can onl find: NETGEAR_EXT. AND, there is no where to add a password/key. When I select NETGEARR_EXT,...
that netgear_ext might be someone elses.
Try factory resetting the C6220.
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on.
Then try installing it.
If it doesn't work, try connecting a pc/laptop to it via an ethernet cable and try setting it up that route.
