A factory reset extender needs to be re-configured from scratch, like a factory new system, or after switching to a different WiFi router. Nothing wrong: The extender needs to be linked with the new wireless again. Without, it wont provide you magically a new working Internet connection. Please consult the fine Installation Guide and User manual available online from https://www.netgear.com/support/product/ex5000#docs

I did link it to the new network but when I connect to the router sometimes it takes FOREVER for the internet to work and when it does after a while every light goes off and the power light goes red.
