can't connect WN3000RPv3 to wifi, status light keeps changing color

I can't get my WN3000RP to connect to my WiFi network. After I select my SSID and enter the WiFi password, it seems like the setup completed OK. However when I try to connect a device to the extended network, I get the mywifiext login screen, then an error page saying "the extender could not connect to your WiFi network". The status light on the extender randomly changes between red, amber, and green. This happens even if the WiFi router and extender are in the same room.

extender firmware is current: 1.0.2.64

WiFi router is Cisco E3000 running DD-WRT

    Hi zogg,

                     Looks like password used for setup is incorrect. Try running the setup again and see if that helps. If issue persist, try different channel as well as turn OFF access control if it is enabled on router.
