the device light not being switched on
Well, the device LED is only lit when a client device is connected. I don't own this particular extender, so I am not sure what the LED behavior is when only a client ethernet device is connected. It might also depend on the power management settings in the PC.
What color is the router LED on the extender?

What speed is your internet service?
The router LED is lit Green, all LED's are lit green apart from the device, which only goes green when i connect my phone.
I used this extnder in my old house and the device LED lit up straight away when i connected it to the same computer.
It is stable at 54 megabits per second

What is stable? Wifi?
What speed is your internet service (from your ISP, not your wifi speed).

Good to know. Did you try using a different ethernet cable?
Yes the wifi seems to be stable but without a proper link it drops all the time.
I am not sure what the isp is, how do i find that out? The wifi had been put in place before i had arrived here and was not told much about how fast it was.
Yes i have tried that and so far nothing

Are you paying for your internet? If so, whom are you paying, and what service level are you paying for?
Another approach is to browse to speedtest.net using a PC connected to an ethernet port in your router.
