If the AP is configured with a static IP, it will advertise "ssid name-bad gateway" when the default gateway is unavailable. If it has no other APs to mesh with that provide a route to the Internet, the AP will remain offline.

 

If it does find another AP with a route to the Internet, it will act as a repeater but the Dashboard will report that it has an invalid IP configuration.

Try to re-open the link now.  Apparently there was an issue earlier where ever the documents reside.

It's very likely that this isn't connecting to the internet.

Can you verify the IP address configured on the dashboard when it's set up as a repeater?

 

Try performing a factory reset
