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.

Thanks so much for your response, and I appreciate you sending the directive video. Unfortunately, after resetting the Wi-Fi extender, when I go to connect my device to the network NETGEAR_EXT there is no internet connection available to use the installation assistant.

Thanks in advance.
you don't need an internet connection to set it up.
Once connected, go to mywifiext.net or 192.168.1.250 and go through setup. It won't connect to the internet until you've went through setup.
