I also just purchased a AX1800 4-Stream WiFi mesh extender. Having a difficult time getting it to connect. Used WPS several times and it seems to connect but the router link LED never comes on. I am left with the Power LED of course, the client LED and the WPS LED. All three green with the client blinking. 

 

I believe it is working but isn't the router LED light also suppose to be on? It is only 20 feet from my router so it should have a solid signal. 

 

Thoughts?

 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.
