What firmware is on your extender?
What router are you connected back to?
have you looked at the manual for what the led's mean?
• Solid blue. Best connection.
• Solid amber. Good connection.
• Solid red. Poor connection.
• Off. No connection.
Are you unable to connect to the 2.4ghz and 5ghz at the same time (from different devices)? A little better explaination of what the actual problem is will help.
Here's where you can find firmware, manuals, troubleshooting info.

yes I know what the leds mean . if I am connected to 5g on the laptop the 5g light is blue and the 2.4 is not lit and regardless of what devise I connect at 2.4 the led stays out. if I am connected on the laptop at 2.4 the 2.4 led goes from un lit the blue and the 5g led goes to red , and if I connect any other devise at 5g the led still stays red .

So it seems to work when I connect with the laptop but nothing else.
