Nighthawk EX7700 not connecting
Hi I have a Nighthawk X6 AC2200 wifi extender - Model EX7700. It used to work in the past. We had it positioned one floor above the router, and it successfully extended the signal to the top floor...

Your extender has successfully connected to your existing WiFi network.
Connect any WiFi enabled device like you would connect them to your main network, using the credentials below.

Log into the Plusnet router and navigate to its attached devices page (or its equivalent). It'll have one. Look for the EX7700 and its ip address. Try using that to access it.
Also, I know you tried resetting but I've seen a few times it not work. Try holding reset for up to 30 seconds while powered on.
Try those 2 things. DON'T hit wps after the reset.
