Thanks as not seen the video but it doesnt solve the problem When I connect to the booster I have no internet so I cant complete the steps to set it up. I assume the point of going through the steps is so the booster can pick up the router wifi signal and therefore doesnt have one itself. By connecting to the booster before connection it has no wifi which seems to defeat the object. No idea what to try other than return it.

I guess I'm a bit confused.
Not a single extender has internet until you connect to it and go through the full setup process. it doesn't matter which extender or manufacturer you go with.
Why do you think it should have internet if it isn't setup yet?
Where in the process is is failing? maybe a better description of whats going on exactly will help. either describe where its failing or even better take a video of the process.
What router are you connecting to?
Are you trying to setup in the same room? After you get it setup, you can move the extender.
