You should see several lit LEDs.

What do the LEDs look like on the "remote" plug?

Have you tested the plug and confirmed that they work when the AP plug is near to the "source" plug? Do that to confirm that the plugs are properly set up and then move the plug to the preferred location.
What tells you that "there is no internet connection"? You see some sort of error message on the wifi clients you are trying to connect?
