Case 1: use a separate cable modem with the router
Turn off all network devices such as cable modems, routers, and wireless devices. Some modems have built-in backup batteries. You must remove the batteries before shutting them down for a hard reset. Steps to reset these modem models are also provided on the page.
First, turn off the cable modem and wait for it to start. This will take a few seconds. The lights will stabilize when the connection to the ISP is established. For further instructions or guided manuals, go to the manufacturer's website for "Modem" and check the status of the LEDs from there.
Now it's your turn to turn on the router. The router will now take a few minutes to connect to the modem. Wait a moment and check the status of the LED. When the status light turns green, it means the router is connected to the modem. In case of problems, see the guidebook for the router.
Turn on all wired and wireless devices. If the extension does not connect to the router after this process, you will need to launch the Netgear Genie Extender to troubleshoot your network.
Case 2: Gateway/DSL Modem Use Only: The steps to restart this type of network are:
The first step is the same as in case 1. Turn off all network devices, such as the gateway router, modem, and wireless devices.
Turn on DSL/Gateway and wait until startup is complete. This only takes a few minutes. Therefore, it is not necessary to hurry. In a successful connection, the LED lamp stabilizes in most of the router otherwise; You can see the online guided guide for complete use and status of the light.
Once the DSL gateway is complete and connected to your ISP, you can turn on your wired and wireless devices now and see if the issue is resolved or not.
After performing the steps mentioned above, you will be able to troubleshoot various issues, such as not being able to access the browser page, not being able to connect, or bright yellow problems with the router. If you are still having problems with your router, or if the Netgear WiFi Extender is not working, you can contact experts for the best solution.
