Why is my wifi extender blinking?

I’ve had my Wi-Fi extender for about a month and all of a sudden the light is blinking, is there a problem?

Thanks, that’s the first thing I did, but it didn’t resolve my issue.

Thank you @pmell20 for trying @EG's advice and letting us know that it did not resolve your issue. May I confirm the color of the blinking light? Is it red or white?

Thank you for confirming that the light is blinking white @pmell20. Are you able to try moving the device closer to your gateway to see if that helps?

 

 

Additionally, are you experiencing any issues with other devices connecting to your network?

All systems are working fine.  The Extender is about 2 feet from the router.

should it be closer?

I moved it and I am now re-installing the extender.

Awesome, thank you for trying that @pmell20, please let us know if that resolves the blinking white light or if any issues come up when you are trying these steps.
