The HubSpace app on my phone is not able to see the Netgear extender. On the off-chance it does, then it won’t connect to the WiFi network even if I attempt to join the 5GHz network. I also tried to connect to the hidden network but nothing happened. Why my HubSpace won’t connect to WiFi Netgear? Is there any problem with the app or the extender itself? Please help!

The HubSpace won’t connect to WiFi Netgear issue can also show up if the mobile device on which you are trying to use the app is not present within the range of the extender.

To resolve the problem effectively, we recommend you come a little closer to the Netgear extender and check whether the HubSpace app connects to the WiFi of Netgear extender or not. If not, then move to the next hack without any delay.
Your mobile device must be connected to the same WiFi band of the Netgear extender to which you want to connect the HubSpace app. If you connect to different frequency bands, chances of failure are more.
You are suggested to clear the HubSpace app’s cache if you are still not able to connect it to the WiFi of Netgear extender.

To clear the cache of the HubSpace app, all you need to do is navigate to the Settings section of your mobile phone.
If we’ve talked about the mobile phone in use, then we also suggest you pay a little attention to the OS version on which it is running. Is it the latest one? If yes, then you can move to the next tip. Otherwise, update the system OS and check if the problem is still there.
There are chances that a new firmware version has been rolled out for the Netgear extender model you own due to which the HubSpace won’t connect to WiFi. So, what are you waiting for? Install the latest firmware version on the extender as soon as possible. You can do this either with the help of the Netgear Nighthawk app or the mywifiext.net URL.
If you opt to update the firmware via the manual method i.e. through the login URL, you should ensure that the firmware file you choose to upload belongs to the extender model you own. Of course, it is supposed to be the latest one.
Have you tried restarting your WiFi range extender? Well, this can help you out. There are times when a technical glitch prevents the extender from performing up to the mark and connecting to a few apps or programs.

Lastly, connect your Netgear extender back to its respective power outlet and switch it on.
