We just bought a router extender to operate outside security lights on our home. We're having trouble connecting and tech support told us we have a bunch of bad IP addresses on the router that are mucking things up. They want $100 to fix. Any help on how to clean this up ourselves? Thanks, Ken
Maker? Model number? And then you did what? Any useful information at all?

"trouble" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.

Sounds like nonsense. _Whose_ "tech support"? Which you contacted how? Did you do a Web search and get the phone number of some scam artist, or did you start at http://netgear.com/support , or what?

Who, exactly, are "They"? And, if you don't know, then why would you consider sending funds?

Not from me, unless you reveal some of the info which is missing from your problem description, so far.

Firmware version? Connected to what? Other than the mystery "a router extender", does it work as expected? If the router's working, then I might consult the folks who supplied the mystery "a router extender".
