I installed the extender and set up my network. After that process, I was asked if I wanted to update the firmware. I had to step away for a few minutes after that started. Afterwards, I saw only a green blinking light -no router or device light. I have turned off/on and get a solid amber boot light, then blinking green light. I have tried resetting to factory settings and nothing happens, just blinking green light continues. Pushing the WPS button, nothiing happens -no blinking WPS light. I have tried plugging in by ethernet with no results -no Device light.
My guess is something happened in the firmware update. IS THIS DEVICE RECOVERABLE?
I went through trials when I had time to mess with it but now the 90 day warranty is expired. I don't want to pay $49 for a phone call for a device that is available for $49.

You could try to reflash the firmware via TFTP I linked below how to do this.

Re: EX6120 green blinking power light
Thanks. It took me two tries to get the settings correct but it updated the firmware and works like new. The first trial I may not have waited long enough for the setup.
