is my extender obsolete?

Question

HELLO ALL,&nbsp;Is my extender obsolete? It is a 2010 model, can't connect to anything. Is there a better more updated model of wireless extender? (running IOS 10.12.5).&nbsp;&nbsp;Doesn't pick up computer wirelessly or with ethernet. Doesn't connect to "mywifinext.local"&nbsp;Also, can't change old name of extender to update to new main network name.&nbsp;Thanks!

Hi&nbsp;janeausten,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Looks like you changed your Gateway where extender needs to be reset and reconfigured with new Gateway. Perform reset by holding paper clip in reset hole for 15-30 seconds and follow either one of below instructions to complete setup.https://kb.netgear.com/22035/Installing-the-extender-with-WPS-Wi-Fi-Protected-Setuphttps://kb.netgear.com/21361/How-to-connect-your-WN2000RPTv1-extender-to-your-wireless-router
