Try using an alternative socket for maybe the current one is damaged. Besides, see to it that the power adapter is not loose.

Power Cycle Network
You should try to reboot the repeater once as this can help the issue to get fixed. Rebooting is nothing but powering off the repeater and powering it on after a gap of some 5 -10 minutes.

The devices will soon be fully booted up. Once they are, you should try to connect to the internet and see if it is working now or not.
