AC750 cannot connect to my new xfinity router (AC 9560)
Anybody know if there is a Netgear WiFi Extender that'll connect to my ne xfinity router?

The intel 9560 is a wireless card. Not an extender and not a router.
You can visit intel and update your drives for whatever device you have using this wireless chipset. Intel's earlier drives struggled a bit and had issues seeing many networks.
If you want help
1. look at your xifinity box. What model is it?
2. What device are you connecting that has the intel wifi chipset in it?
3. What firmware is on your extender?
Where is it failing?
Are you failing to see the extenders wifi broadcast?
Are you connecting to the extender but the extender isn't seeing the router's wifi?
Is it the password thats failing?
A better desciption of whats going on and what exact devices you're using can help us to help you.

Turns out that my Xfinity Gateway is a Technicolor CGM4140. But i am still looking for a wifi extender that will connect to this gateway.

The 5.0MHZ setting on my extender connects to the internet, but the 2.4MHz does not.

This is just copied and pasted from my prior post. I'm trying to help you out but you're giving me minimal information and responses. I'm doing my best but I need a bit more effort on your part to try to help you out here. You still haven't even put what extender it is you're using. You put AC750 which is a speed not a model.
