Etekcity Wi-Fi Outlet with Nighthawk x4 R7500v2

> Etekcity Wi-Fi Outlet [...]

   Do these things have a model identifier?

   Are the wireless credentials (SSID, passphrase) the same on the new
router as on the old, or different?

   Not a very detailed description of what you did.

   I've never dealt with an Etekcity socket, so I know nothing, but I
have done a little with some Orvibo S20 sockets.  The Orvibo S20 has a
reset function (hold button until indicator LED flashes red).  If the
Etekcity socket has something similar, then I'd try that.  It also has
two methods for getting it to connect to the wireless network.  If the
Etekcity socket is similar, then "I try to set the plugs up" is too

vague to be very useful.
