Rx7000 extender
My modem went out and had to buy a new one, now I can't get my extender to connect to it. What do I need to do? Please help!
When I go to log it in to my network it won't let me bc it keeps picking up my my old modem. I can get the extender on my phone but then it doesn't let me login from my phone bc it's not hooked up to WiFi. I'm not very good at this tech stuff at all. I replaced my modem with the same one I had just had a different password now:AC 1200 Netgear router.
You didn't really tell us much.
1. still don't know what modem/gateway you have.
2. AC1200 is a speed not a model.
3. don't know firmwares
4. did you try factory resetting and reinstalling the extender? (push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on)
- Yes I tried th reset. The model #C6220.

We still don't know what your "Rx7000" is. Your subject says "extender" but you call it a "router".
As plemans says AC 1200 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the model number.
If it is an extender, you should be able to add it without too much trouble. But if it is, as you say, a router, then you have two routers on your network.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.

But without accurate details of what is on your network, who knows?
