I turned off the wifi (2.4ghz) when was setting up the extender, I cant access it now and WontTurnOn
Alright so I was following the guide of the extender and It was all going smoothly until I saw "Turn off 2.4ghz" I for some reason turned it off and left the website running in the background and then it said "Time Expired" or something like that and it kicked me from the website, It also took away my wifi for the extender and now I cant connect to the wifi extender to my Router and I cant even turn on the 2.4GHZ now. How can I turn on the wifi? I also tried Factory Restarting but didnt work

Hello mustafahaidari9,
Are you able to connect to the extender's WiFi network using a wireless device? If so, connect to the extender's WiFi network and browse to www.mywifiext.net to log into the extender's admin page an enable the 2.4GHz band. Please refer to page 16 of the user manual linked below.
