N300 WIFI Range Extender suddenly stopped working

Hi,

 

I succesfully setup my extender last week and all was working well.

 

Suddenly on Monday this week i noticed the light showing connectivity to the router was out and sure enough now it is not working. I tried setting up once again using WPA as last time but it simply won't connect at all to the router now even when right next to it.

 

Devices can connect to the extender no problem but of course it has no internet connection without a connection to the router.

 

What happened and what can I do about it?

 

Thanks!

    Hello neilandkellie

     

    I would try to factory reset the extender by holding down the reset button for 10 seconds after that try to set up the extender again.
