what router are you connecting it to?
Did you set it up using the push button WPS option?
If so, factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.
To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
Here's a video of how to use the assistant.

Troubleshooting steps:
1. Verify that the EX6150 is properly plugged into a power source and turned on.
2. Confirm that your Spectrum fiber optic connection is working properly by checking other devices connected to it.
3. Reset both your EX6150 and your Spectrum fiber optic modem/router by unplugging them for 30 seconds, then plugging them back in.
4. Check if the latest firmware version is installed on your EX6150. You can do this by logging into the device's web interface, navigating to 'Administration' > 'Firmware Upgrade', and clicking 'Check for Updates'.
5. Try placing the EX6150 closer to your Spectrum fiber optic router/modem or directly connect it via Ethernet cable to see if this resolves the issue.
