WiFi extender not working: connects to router but no internet when you connect to extender: EX2700

I have been using the EX2700 WiFi Range extender for roughly 6 months without any problems however in the last week it has stopped working. 

It still connects to my WiFi router (all the appropriate lights are on) but when I connect to it on my laptop or mobile phone, there is no internet connection. I have followed all the troubleshooting instructions on this website and nothing has improved.

I have reset the extender, forgotten the wifi network on my laptop/phone and reconnected yet still the same result. 

I found out I am apparently not eligible for customer support after just 90 days which is absolutely ridiculous.  I should be able to call someone without paying a ridiculous cost just to receive some help.

Asking on here is pretty much a last ditch effort, nothing else has been able to help so far unfortunately, hopefully somebody here can help

    Hello mo619

     

    Have you tested the extender by plugging the laptop into the Ethernet port on the extender to see if you can make a connection that way?
