Yes, you are correct in your assumption. The "continue" option means clicking on the continue button found during the setup process after connecting to the extended network. This usually allows you to complete the entire setup process before relocating the extender. What is the Router Link LED status at this stage of the setup? Does the extender show up as a connected device on your router's list of attached devices?

- Thank you for the response! All the lights are lit solid green (including router link LED). I’m not quite sure how to bring that menu back up, however, to allow me to “continue”. I also don’t quite know how to check if the extended shows up on the list of attached devices. If by that you mean does it show up on the list of available then yes it does. Sorry! Im not great with this stuff.
Hi JoeShmoe120,
All green lights should indicate that the extender has successfully connected to the router. Have you tried resetting the extender back to factory defaults and going through the setup using a different device? A laptop or a computer perhaps? This will allow you to easily switch over to the extended network and switch back to the browser to complete the process and select continue.
