I have also tried connecting an ethernet cable from my router to my extender but still no luck. The firmware is the original firmware that was on the extender when I purchases it in July of this year. I have never gotten it to work since I had it.

When you connect the router to the extender via hardwired, the extender needs to be in access point mode.
start with this.
Factory reset the extender. push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on.

disable the wireless on the laptop/pc so the device doesn't connect back to the wireless during setup.
then try setup.
btwn spectrum ultra 400 is a speed plan, not a model. What actual router is it?
Whaty firmware is on the extender?
