Difficluties Setting Up EX7700 extender

Question

Dear Community,&nbsp;I am having trouble setting up my EX7700 extender.&nbsp; It had been set up with a different router but I had to recently change to a new one.&nbsp; Doing that, however, has meant that I can't seem to set up the Extender with the new router.&nbsp; The client link LED is a solid white and the WPS led is a solid white but the router link LED is off (will periodically flash red but then go dead).&nbsp; When I try to use the Nighthawk Netgear app to set up the extender with the new router, however, it can't find "NETGEAR_EXT" and thus I cannot update the extender to access the new router.&nbsp; The app/extender says it is having problems connecting to the wifi.What do I need to do so that the extender, configured to a router and wifi system I no longer use/have, can be configured to my new router/wifi?Thanks for your assitance in advance!

&gt; What do I need to do so that the extender, configured to a router and&gt; wifi system I no longer use/have, can be configured to my new&gt; router/wifi?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Have you considered trying the the obvious?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and lookfor Documentation.&nbsp; Get the User Manual.&nbsp; Read.&nbsp; Look for "FactoryDefault Settings" and/or Return the Extender to Its Factory DefaultSettings".&nbsp; Do that.&nbsp; Then, start at the beginning with your newlyvirginized extender.&nbsp; Its User Manual might be helpful with thatoperation, too.
