Why is tv not connecting to Netgear extender with apple router?

There are several reasons why a TV might not be connecting to a Netgear Extender with an Apple router, these are following: 

  • Distance: The TV may be too far away from the Netgear extender.
  • Interference: The wireless signal from the Netgear extender may be disrupted by other electronic devices.
  • Network settings: The TV may not be properly configured to connect to the wireless network or it may not be on the same network as the Netgear extender and Apple router.
  • IP conflicts: The TV AND Netgear extender may have conflicting IP addresses.
  • Security settings: The security settings on the Netgear extender or Apple router may be preventing the TV from connecting to the wireless network.
  • Hardware issues: There may be an issue with the hardware on the Netgear extender, Apple router, or TV, such as a faulty wireless adapter or network card.

Try these following steps to resolve the issue:

  • Network settings: Make sure that your TV is configured to connect to your home wifi network, and that it's on the same network as your Netgear as your Netgear extender and Apple router.
  • Restart the devices: Try turning off your TV, Netgear extender, and Apple router and then turning them back on again.
  • Check for interference: If there are other devices in your home that use the same frequency band as your Netgear extender, such as microwave ovens or cordless phones, they could be causing interference. Try moving your Netgear extender to a different location, away from any potential sources of interference.
  • Update firmware: Ensure that your Apple router, Netgear extender and TV firmware are updated to the latest version.
  • Reset the network settings: Try resetting the network settings on your TV and then reconnecting it to your home wifi network.

Note: If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact the customer support for your TV or Netgear support extender to help troubleshoot the issue.

It can be quite frustrating when you are trying to connect your TV to a Netgear with an Apple router and it's not working. I have experienced this issue myself and I understand how inconvenient it can be. Thanks for help..
