Lights blinking and no NETGEAR_EXT wife - AC3000 Desktop Extender(EX8000)
I've come back from holiday to find our extender is not on properly. The front lights continually flash. The photo attached is when they flash on!. The power light on the rear is blinking green. I've tried resetting but the same issue appears that i am unable to location the network NETGEAR_EXT as it is not showing up on wifi lists.
Any advice appreciated.

You can try recovering it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide
https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
just make sure you enable tftp
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
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

Thank you for the response - do these methods work on an extender as they are directed towards the router?

you can do it on either. I've done it on both before.
