Router to extender ex6100 connection issues

Router not recogonizing extender?  try to type same password into the EXT_ and doent connect 

 

Do I need to check WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] on wireless so router sees extender?

    Router not recognizing extender or extender not recognizing router? 

    Did you set it up with wps or the installation wizard?

    Try the wizard if you used wps. factory reset the extender and run the installation wizard. 

    What firmware is on the R6900P?

    Firmware on the EX6100?

        I'm not sure what to even make of what you wrote. You first put that wps work and then wrote about not activating. 

        Maybe a better description of exactly what you're doing, what happens would be more beneficial
