  • A couple things. 

    1. is this a new purchase?

    2. Has it been setup before? 

    3. If its been setup before,  factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.

    To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on. 

    Here's a video of how to use the assistant.

    if you have further issues, a better description can help. Minimal info is tough to troubleshoot with
