Comcast installed their new Xfinity XB6 wireless router/modem several months ago. I admit that it works great with the exception of when 3rd party equipment was added. After many phone calls, and 3 tech visits, I am still unable to use my Netgear EX7000 WiFi Extender. The extender was working fine until we were more or less "forced" to use X1 technology. After going on Xfinity and Netgear forum sites, I have the impression that this represents technical compatibility issues which neither party have corrected. Can you recommend either a compatible Wireless WiFi Extender or some tweaking tips on my part to resolve this problem? (My TV is "app ready" but requires a wired ethernet input for which the EX7000 had worked out well.) Thank you.
