EX6400 WiFi Extender - Green Power light blinking
We can't get our extender to work at all. It was working fine until a couple of months ago. Now the green power light blinks. There are no other lights that are lit at all. We have tried factory resetting, and linking WPS from extender back to router. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Usually a blinking powerline signals either a hardware failure or firmware failure.
You can try restoring it with a tftp procedure. This can recover it sometimes.
here's the procedure for windows 10.

Make sure to enable tftp from within windows 10 if you use it.

And here's a video on using tftp on a netgear extender.
