So I built a new pc.... after I got everything together, I installed Windows 10. I am using a netgear wifi extender as a port for my ethernet cable. Sadly, my new pc doesnt recognize that there is an ethernet cable plugged in. it gives a message saying "not connected" "no connections available", "network cable unplugged". And yes i installed all the Mother board drivers. Any ideas?

"wifi extenders" can be difficult to configure. I suggest you move the new computer to the room with the Router. so that you can debug the problem. Connect using a Ethernet wire and verify that the Internet is working then try the "extender".

Good Luck
