Ethernet is connected, but will not run

Remove any existing static IP configuration,  update the driver, then try to get an ip again

 

(ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew) also try netsh winsock reset and reboot.

Hello, I am trying to run an ethernet connection off a wifi extender (this to be exact: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Wi-Fi-Range-Extender-EX6120/dp/B00R92CL5E/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=netgear%2Bwifi%2Bextender&qid=1606145860&sr=8-4&th=1) and it displays that it is connected, but there is no internet. I tried different ethernet ports, but that didn't help. Any help is appreciated :)

Is the modem you're using in modem or router mode?

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

Is your WiFI extender connected to your primary WiFi network? If not, there's no internet to share.

Yes, it is.

How do I check?

EDIT: I read that wrong, the modem is combined with the router.

You need to login to the modem configuration.

Just found out that the internet works on a different computer, so it is not the ethernet cable or the wifi extender itself, but the PC. I have no idea how to fix it though :P
