Nighthawk X6S AC3000 Tri-Band Wifi Range Extender Model EX8000 won't sync with Spectrum Router

WPS doesn't work for all devices because not all implement wps the same (they should). this is espcially true with ISP supplied device.
Fortunately, netgear also has the option of using the smart installation wizard. the support site has a video that walks you through using it. I think its the 3rd video on the support site (if you click the > button). Here's the support site with firmware, manuals, videos, troubleshooting, etc.
