Wifi Netgear Extender issue (alien.top)

I have two iphone 13 minis (love the compact size). Since I had them about a couple years, they worked flawlessly.

About a week or so ago, the iphones won’t connect to the wifi extender (Nighthawk X6S EX 8000) anymore. We didn’t do anything special. It shows connected to the router, but won’t show the wifi icon on top next to the battery symbol. But it will connect to direct wifi connections. Tested at home and at other wifi locations and that’s ok. Try to connect to router and no websites or reddit, etc. Bought an identicle brand new extender. Still didn’t work. Tried our old extender we packed away and it still didn’t work.

We pretty much did all the online solutions posted online that I could find like resetting network connections, forgetting connection, etc. We haven’t reset the whole phone, didn’t want to go to that extreme if possible.

Anybody else have this issue and have a solution short of getting a new phone at tmobile or going to genius bar? Thanks ahead of time for any and all help.

My 15 pros had this this both would show it’s connected to my home WiFi but not show the symbol I’ve done everything and it only works sometimes but it stops I’m going to go apple soon with both phones if it continues it’s a massive inconvenience

Yeah, I am going to do the full reset next week if I don’t get a solution from either Tmobile or Apple. And if that doesn’t work from them, the full reset. God help me if that doesn’t work then we’ll have to upgrade.

There are a lot signals in general just because, that part is true. The issue is that it doesn’t fully latch on to my extender anymore. Never a problem in the 7 years I’ve used one in my 2 story home until 1.5 weeks ago.
