The network on the router says NETGEAR79 but that network doesn't come up on any devices. It comes up NETGEAR79 5G or there's a 2. This has caused connectivity problems.

This is my second refurbished unit. My first unit connection light kept going from green to red after 5 months of use. Rebooting, etc. didn't help and I decided to buy a second unit as other units were so expensive, especially for a mesh system. As expected, as soon as second unit ordered, it started to work properly. (It may have been Comcast, which nothing is ever their fault) Anyway, I placed the second unit by sunroom, and I have the best internet speed ever. I might add though, in this second unit WPS connection would not work. Had to download the Night Hawk app and that worked, but it required way too much personal info that WPS doesn't. Bad, Bad. For the price, I'm satisfied with my two units.
Videos streamed skips often. Internet is stable and fine which is good.

Had difficulty connecting to the wifi extender with my phone through the app. Easier to set up using a laptop. Instructions were prompted upon joining the wifi extender’s wifi network and the rest is history.
