Hi oneconfuseddude,
Can you try it from a different device to see if that helps and also from wired device if any. Also, mywifiext.local doesn't applies for this extender and is only for EX7500 and EX8000 once they are setup. Router LED on your extender is OFF since you haven't setup the extender. I would request you to setup the extender using WPS or browser method by using following links.
