After power outage Nighthawk X6s EX800 not work and all 8 lights are blinking
Hi,
Had a power outage and now Ac3000 extender not working. I just get all 8 lights blinking simultaneously. Any ideas?
Thanks

Start with a factory reset.
Push and hold reset while powered on for 7-15 seconds. (sometimes up to 30)
If that doesn't work, the firmware might be corrupt.
You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash

Good luck!
If you do try tftp/nmrpflash, its sensitive to timings and can sometimes take a few tries.
