My Apple Airport Extreme modem/router just died (no status lights; no power). It was the original modem/router used to setup my Apex Lite several years ago. Never had ANY issues. I do have another modem/router in the house and have Xfinity wifi networks available to connect, but I have no clue how to do this. Apex is running via wifi and a NetGear adapter. Apex is several rooms away from computer, so ethernet connection would be a chore. Please help!
The Netgear adapter is what you need to change settings on. You can probably find the directions for it online. You’ll have to unplug it and bring it to your computer to set it up for the new WiFi network.

Actually renamed "new" Xfinity wifi to "old" wifi SSID (Network name) and password thru Xfinity gateway. Then needed to configure Apex to new wifi gateway, thru ApexBrowser app (great find!). Back up and running and I still have 1/2 the weekend left. Woohoo!
If you can't or don't want to change the wifi network connection for the Netgear adapter, another approach would be to set the network name and password on the other router (or a new replacement router) to the exact same as what you had with your Apple router. The Netgear adapter (and other wifi devices in your house) should connect to the new network if the new network name and pw are the same as for the old one.
Edit: We posted at the same time, and it looks like that's what you did.
