Wifi extender blinking red
I have hardwired it and reset and also placed them side by side with no hardware. I pressed the pairing buttons and the extender is still blinking red

Hi, @Jonmdp.
We are happy to help you with your blinking WiFi extender concerns. How long has your receiver been blinking red?
Check your internet router, is it blinking red as well?
Check out our Smart Home Manager. Sign in, and run a diagnostic test. This will show any errors in your home network and provide suggestions if needed. Let us know if this helps, we hope to hear back from you soon!

Two days ago. my 4920's and 4971's all went "red." Now idea why, they've been running fine for over a year.
Anyway, nothing I tried worked. So I had to remove them from the network and re-install them. That worked, but I shouldn't have had to do that in my opinion.
Easiest way I found to do this is thru AT&T's router using the "smart home manager." Just delete them and re-install again. Kinda irritating...All three went nuts for no "apparent reason."

I wonder if the AirTies or, perhaps more likely, your AT&T gateway got a firmware update?

Toni . . .
"Gateway update" was my guess. I did try looking thru the Gateway router logs. "they" log nearly "EVERYTHING." If one doesn't notice an issue soon enough, the event is irritatingly smothered by entries. I'll just mark it down as a possible gateway router firmware update...
