Link Status LED - Broken?

I just setup my Nighthawk X6S (EX8000) for the first time and it was a fairly easy setup process. I am able to connect to the WiFi extender from my mobile device, however the Link Status LED on the extender isn't illuminated. The LED light I know works because it blinks when I first turn the extender on all the way until it connects to my router. Throughput, 2.4G & 5G, Client Link & WPS LEDs are all illuminated. 

 

Is it possible for the extender to still be working, but not have the Link Status LED illuminated? I havent even seen it show the amber color at all.

I'm having the same issue. Link Status light does not turn on yet the others are a steady white. I can't tell if it's actually working? Is that normal?
