I plugged the extender into a power outlet in the same room as my router and used the WPS buttons to have it connect.

Good move to do it in the same room. Set up the extender and then move it.

What is the router? Did you tell it to forget the extender's earlier connection?

Can you get it to work without using WPS?

Another weird issue is that the MAC address on the device does not exactly show on my router logins.  It is off by 1 letter.

These things can create more than one MAC address, for different wifi connections.

I have an Amazon device at the far end of the house and relocated the extender to that end.

When you do get it to work, a better location might be in the middle of the gap between the router and the Amazon device.

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
