Model: RE650  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: ?

Hi there, when I configured the RE650 via the tether app I followed all the instructions, then when the time came to move the extender all the leds turned on for a millisecond and then the power led started blinking, then when it went solid blue the big circle led flashed red, then blue, then turned off. Now the only button turned on is the power button. I tried reconfiguring, resetting, but it still won't work and it does that everytime it gets plugged in. wtf? I was excited to use this product and now I am quite annoyed, not to mention I also got disconnected from customer service for being on hold too long.

Thanks for reaching out to us. 

For the configuration of range extender, the wireless password is the key parameter. The range extender needs the correct wi-fi password to connect to your main wifi. If you are not sure about the wifi password of the main router, please refer to the FAQ below to check it via the existing wireless connection on your windows or mac computer:

After the wifi password is confirmed, please follow the steps to re-configure the range extender.
