Don't connect it to the router with ethernet. Reason why is when its hardwired into the router, it needs to be setup in access point mode and not extender mode. You'd have to re-run setup.
After your reset, did you try setting it up using the installation assistant? If not, try that. Here's a video of how to.

you might need to factory reset 1 more time to get back to default if you were clicking on the wps button.

What firmware is on the extender?
What router are you connecting it to?What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
If you log into your router, are you able to view the extender under the attached devices list?
