Hi Christian - thanks for the quick response and sorry for my delay (I've been away).
I just re-tried and got the same result. I checked the extender and the lights for Power and Device were both solid green while the other lights were all off / blank.
Does that tell me I should do anything in particular? I don't understand why it can't connect to the router if the signal is "100%" and the password is definitely right?
Cheers

Hello Dace - Thanks for getting back. Please try a factory reset on the extender by pressing down on the reset button for 15+ seconds and go through the setup instructions again. This has helped other users resolve the issue.
~ChristianHi Christian,
Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty sure I tried that already but I re-did it, following your instructions and got the same result. Same lack of connection to the router, same lights on the device itself. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? If there is nothing else I can do then I would like to know soon so I can return it and try a different extender.
Cheers
Dace
