Model: RE220  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Noticed we'd lost our ext WiFi. The power light is permanently flashing, tried resetting it, tried moving it next to the router, tried an ether net hardwire. Still nothing. Is this now just faulty beyond repair?

Hello @Markrlewis ,

Welcome to our community.

 

May I know what the hardware version of  your device is?

If the models are RE220 V3/RE200 V5/RE190 V5, always repeat the reboot process after trying the above troubleshooting methods. Please refer to RE220/RE200/RE190 Keeps Restarting Automatically for further suggestions.
If it's still the same, please contact TP-LINK technical support.
