Life expectancy varies. I've got a decade old router that still works. I don't use it but it works. so its tough to say.
And its tougher to help you with minimal info. We're willing to help but need details
1. What exactly are the lights doing? By each light go over color/solid/blinking.
2. What router is it connected to? this is key because the router is the backbone of the extender. a crappy router is going to make for a crappy extender.
3. What extender is it? You put A6150 in your signature which is a wifi adapter. Not an extender.
4. Firmware on the extender?
5. has something changed with it recently?
