DexterJB thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I can't move the extender closer to the router, as my main desktop PC is connected to it via an ethernet cable.

Also, I'm not sure what firmware version the extender is running, and I don't know how to check, but if an update would get me back up and running that would be awesome.

Browse to mywifiext.net from a device connected to the extender network.
Let us know the firmware version - but I don't recommend updating it to the current firmware. There are lots of issues reported with 1.0.1.78. If you are running something older than 1.0.0.66, then you could try updating it to that.
Same problems with EX8000 and the latest firmware V1.0.1.186 doesm't solve any issues.
