Something you can try.
1. factory reset the extender. Push and hold the reset for 7-15 seconds while the extender is fully booted up. That'll get you back to factory.
2. then hardwire into the extender via the ethernet port. Disable the wifi on whatever device you connect to it so that device doesn't default back to the wireless connection. Then try to log into the extender to manually set it up.
3. don't use wps. not all device manufacturer's code wps the same and can create issues. so use the installtion wizard.
to contact support, you click "mynetgear" at the top. register an account and then the device. From there you can contact support.
