Thanks for your response. The only lights that are 'on' on the extender are the power light (steady green) and the light indicating the extender is connected to my phone (also steady green).
I don't believe there is any firmware on the extender (I didn't install any, anyway)
No, I set it up wirelessly with the Nighthawk app. Honestly, I don't know how to log into the router. I lease space from another business and I guarantee they do not know how to log into the router either.

It's a LINKSYS EA6900
Pretty sure it's consumer class
