Have my new WiFi Pods shut down my Unifi Range Extender?

I've just installed a couple of WiFi pods in my house.  They seem to be working well.

Previously I was using a Unifi LR Range extender that plugged into my Hub via an Ethernet cable.  The Hub was NOT in modem mode, and the Hub Wifi and the Range Extender were on difference SSID's and have worked OK together for the past 2-3 years.

After installing the second WiFi pod yesterday, my Unifi Range Extender has stopped working and is just flashing blue.  

Is this something that the pods have caused (either intentionally or not)?  Or is it pure coincidence?

I was keeping the range extender operational for now whilst I evaluate the Pods, and also because my security cameras require me to get up a ladder to reset them and change the wifi network!  Was planning to get around to changing them once gale force winds stop.
