I’ve been trying to reset my Netgear range extender to factory settings, but the reset process doesn’t seem to work. I’ve pressed and held the reset button as instructed, but the extender doesn’t reboot or return to default settings.
Has anyone else faced this issue? What could be causing the reset to fail, and are there alternative methods to perform the reset? Any troubleshooting tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Here are few things you must need to take take of:
1. Locate the Reset button (usually a small hole) on the back or underside of the device.
2. Use a paperclip or pin to press and hold the button for at least 45 seconds.
3. Release the button when the power LED begins to blink.
4. Wait for the extender to reboot and return to factory settings.
Also, you need to ensure that extender is plugged in and it is on while performing the reset activity.
