Blackhawk extender

I’be been using the nighthawk Wi-Fi extender perfectly for the past few months but it just started occurring yesterday that it won’t extend as wireless wifi but is working straight through Ethernet cable.. the box shows it’s blue and working but isn’t extending wifi without Ethernet.. I’ve tried restarting the internet and same things keep occurring

    What extender is it? (model)

    What router is it connected to? 

    What does the status page on the extender show? 

    Firmware on the extender?

    what method of install did you use? (wps, the installation assistant, app?)

    Have you tried a factory reset and installing with the installation assistant?
