Sync two different netgear routers
I have a Netgear72 router in use in our home with password protected WiFi. I have run a new internet line from this router into a building adjacent to our house. I have recently bought a Netgear95 router to use for my WiFi. How do I set this up, I’m not able to get internet through the new router. Can I get the new router close to the old router connect with cable and use the Wes button feature like I would a wireless device, or do I have to go unprotected on my old router, do I reset my password on my new router to agree with my old router...thanks

Ethernet cable?

When you find an actual model number for your new router, visit
http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for something like"Use the Router as a WiFi Access Point".

you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages, LED
indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations.> [...] Can I get the new router close to the old router connect with

Huh?

No. Which "my password"? Look in the User Manual for "Types of
Logins".
