Try to reboot your main router and then try to setup the Almond in Range Extender mode back, if it still fails then try Wireless WAN.

I am having same issue.  My Almond worked perfectly until 2 weeks ago.  I tried hard reset and reset the Linksys router...no results. 
So I ordered an Almond 2015, and I have the SAME issue.  What is the probability that it's BOTH Almond devices?  Wow.
Every other device in my house is able to connect to the Linksys router.  What else can I try?

The way device and Range Extender communicates with the main router is different and in order for the Range Extender to work, need to receive at least decent amount of signal, try to reduce the distance or change the location and let us know the status.
