Connecting to my router
I recently got a new router from Sky and am having difficulty getting my Netgear extender to link to it. Using WPS I can get power WPS and Router link lights showing but no more and no effective sign...

Generally that means that you aren't connected to NETGEAR_EXT (or the extender's ethernet), but instead are connecting to your router's wifi or ethernet.
So if you are using ethernet, you need to move the PC cable to the extender's LAN port. You won't reach the internet ,but you should still be able to reach http://www.mywifiext.net. If your PC has both wifi and ethernet, make sure you disable the connection that isn't going directly to the extender.
Hi Stephen B and thanks for the very clear instructions.
I have done exactly that. However on connecting to mywifiext.net I am told that I am not connected. When I check the routere using 192.768.0.1 the extender is no listed as one of my connected devices. Is it possible that my AC1200 is not compatible with my new Sky router. The router is a Sky model ER115 firmware version 2.08.2406.R.
