Thanks!
The ext is a WiFi range extender that we used with our previous router to get better reception in a bedroom. I connected it again to see if it made a difference. I will stave the photo of all the devices connected to the 2.4 band. There is one that got cut off. That’s the Netgear WiFi Range Extender. Hubby isn’t home so his phone sitting alone on the 5g is not showing. His is an iPhone 5s. Mine is a 6s. I am waiting for a Avast Smart Scan on the laptop to finish then I will try to log into the router. Thanks for you patience and help! Oh and someone asked about my firmware it updated during set-up. It is now 1.0.9.64.... just in case that is helpful info.

V1.0.9.64 does translate to a R7000, not the originally tagged R7000P. But slowly I start to understand the wireless issues - Netgear seems to have bigger issues on this device - hope the .64 does work good for you!
