I have recently purchased a netgear WAP wifi 6 for a room in my garden. I have a new ethernet cable that feeds to it directly from my hub 3 router in the house. The internet is working through the cable (i've checked) but when I plug it into the WAP box it does not recognise any internet signal. Someone suggested that this is because the technology is too new for my hub 3 router. Does anyone know if this is the case?

thank you for responding, much appreciated. did you mean plug the ethernet into the netgear as normal, and then the laptop to the netgear via one of the open slots via another ethernet? And adjust the network settings via the laptop control panel?

If you are getting an internet connection through the cable there is no reason why the Netgear shouldn't work if setup correctly.
What's the model?
