Installing with WiFi assistance made the problem worse. After i completed the WiFi assistance I couldn't connect to the 2gext or the 5gext. I entered the correct password a numerous amount of times. I then reset the nighthawk ex7000 and set back up using wps and the 5gext went back to working but 2gext still wouldn't connect.

How are you trying to connect to this thing?
Past messages don't tell us if it is a mobile device or a PC.
All we have is "Every device i try to connect to the 2gext network says unable to join."
Also, beyond saying "couldn't connect" we know nothing about the error messages that you see on whatever it is you are using.
