AC3000 Nighthawk X6S Extender: Power light turns from green to flashing red. All front flash white
I have had this wifi extender for about two years with no problem, but I started to notice my wifi speed was slower and then I saw that my extender front lights were flashing white. I tried turning off the unit and turning it back on and the power green light turned to a flashing red light after about 15 seconds. I repeated the process a few time but to no avail. I tried resetting the unit and the problem persisted. There in no fix for this in the manual and on-line support is truly frustrating. Based on the comments I've read regarding this problem, Netgear doesn't appear to have an answer. I looks like I'm left with buying a different unit. I would appreciate a response but I doubt that I will get one. Thanks,

i posted my power light issue on the AC3000 Extender two days ago. I tried resetting it to no avail..I also noticed that the green power light would stay on for 10 to 20 second then turn to flashing red. This issue troubled me so I kept it plugged in. I occasionally inspected the unit and I noticed that the green light would transition from flashing red to solid green for one to three minutes. Obviously this couldn't work so I ordered a different extender. The new one should arrive today. This morning my AC3000 held a solid green light. I plugged it out and repositioned it where it was before and the power light stayed green. Then I signed into Netgear and I had to set it up as a new unit. So far it has been working fine for about four hours. It appears that the unit (AC3000) reset itself after being plugged in tor two days.
I hope this helps.
