Perhaps a continuous WiFi connection is not available to your Netgear N300 extender. Although a strong WiFi connection is being supplied by your router, it may not reach your extender. For this, you have to check the LEDs on your router as well as on your Netgear N300 WiFi extender.
Just in case if the internet or WiFi LED is red on your Netgear extender, it means that there is a connection but the N300 won’t connect to it. In such a case, you have to go through the following steps:

So, what you have to do is to turn off your Netgear N300 extender, PC, or laptop along with your router for 10-15 minutes and after that, turn them on again. It is advised to power up your main router first. Wait for a couple of minutes, then plug in your Netgear N300 extender and after that reconnect your client devices.
Another reason behind N300 not connecting to the internet issue is outdated Netgear extender firmware. If you are struggling with the same issue, update the latest version of firmware on your Netgear N300 extender. To do so, follow the steps outlined below:
