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.

Thanks for all the help so far.
I did the reset again, waiting 30 seconds. That was a while ago now.
The extender is now showing three white lights on the front (the three starting from the left).
The NETGEAR_EXT briefly showed up on my available networks but has now disappeared again.
