Don't make it worse

This is the most unintuitive router I've ever dealt with. First, they suggest you use their app to set up and install your router. So I download the app and they want you to open an account. HM okay. Then they get picky about password choices, capitalization and such, because we don't have enough passwords to deal with in our lives, let alone something as mundane as setting up a router. Therefore we skipped this route and immediately drove to the connection. in an ethernet cable to my laptop. The router shows that the cable is connected but is not receiving a signal. After 40 minutes I find that I need to reset my cable modem to allow the router to sync to it. Finally connected but 18Mbps when I have 100Mbps. I've found on the forums that this is a common problem and requires you to check the QoS, click apply, uncheck, click apply again and then you'll get the speed you should be getting. Ah, but there's a catch. , every time you apply a different setting, guess what happens? Yes, your speed will slow down again. Okay, enough, let's try wireless. where to go The router doesn't allow me to change settings with the appearance so that there are no problems, but I don't see my router in the list of available connections. Is the WiFi radio turned on? checkAre all required checkboxes checked? yepSSIDs set to visible? Yes, I have no idea what's going on. I see 50 other strange wireless signals on my device but not my own. Spent over 4 hours on this and I'm done. I'm by no means tech savvy, but this should be a lot easier than it should have been. When I come back for a refund and use TP-Link I've never had a problem with them so far and don't expect this to start. now too. First and last time with Netgear. A pleasantly sour taste remained in the mouth.
