    Welcome to the community, rjstapes

     

    What's the exact model number of the extender?

    The extender may need reconfiguration in order to get it to work with the new router/modem.

    I suggest that you use a paper clip when resetting it. When you push the reset, it should show blinking power light or the power light will turn amber. Once the power light turns green then it should have restored settings of the extender to default and you should be able to configure it as if it's brand new out of the box.
