EX8000 – AC3000 Nighthawk X6S Tri Band WiFi Mesh Extender

I had to reboot the device and after all the lights stopped flashing only the 2.4g light remains on.  I've turned it off and back on a few times and get the same results.
It's less than 3 years old and is out of warranty. Is there a fix for this?

    Glad you got it up and working! (and that it was something simple)
    If you mark it solved, it might help the next person with this issue

    Did you try hardwiring a pc/laptop into it to see if you can go through setup on it again?

        simply plug an ethernet wire into the extender and into a laptop/pc. Disable the pc/laptops wifi so it doesn't default to that. 

        Then try to access the extender
