WIFI Range Extender won't connect to my router
I've had the Nighthawk AC1900 Wifi Range Extender (Model EX7000) for at least a year and have never had any problems with it, until this weekend. It has somehow connected to my wireless printer as o...
Unfortunately, that did not work.
When I search for wireless networks, it's still coming up as "DIRECT-id-HP M426 LaserJet_2GEXT" and "DIRECT-id-HP M426 LaserJet_5GEXT". When I select either of these and enter our network password, it says it's an incorrect password. In the past, it was "WIRELESS_2GEXT" and "WIRELESS_5GEXT" (our wireless network is named "Wireless")
The LED lights are not blinking once booted up - the 2 arros are lit up and the number 1 is lit up, but they are steady.
Any other ideas?

How are you "searching for wireless"? Is this when you're going through your setup for the extender? Or is this from your phone/computer?
What router are you connecting to?
did the router someone end up with the printers options for wireless? have you tried resetting the printer?
What firmware is on the extender?
Are you hardwired into the extender while you're setting it up?
