    If you set it up using the push button WPS option, factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.

    To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on. 

    Here's a video of how to use the assistant.

Glad you got it working!

Might be time to keep an eye out for a better extender. that's a pretty old/slow extender so if you're using it for more than IoT devices, its bottlenecking big time
