Well, at the end of the day I was ready to ditch the extender and buy a new one, but for some reason a brilliant idea dawned on me then: to update the firmware! And of course now everything is working again. Why I needlessly wasted many hours without thinking of this solution before, only the devil and his grandmother know...
That's not a strange as it sounds. I had a flip phone that started manfunctioning and at first I couldn't figure out why. Then I realized I had it for over 3 years and never turned it off. Turning it off and then on fixed the problem.
