Do you have the screensnip of the status page for the extender? - No, but there were no error messages anywhere.
Have you tried changing the channels the main router is on? - Yes, I tried that and selected channels, which were in least use. No change.
Whats your old extender? - A TRENDnet TEW-800MB.
when you setup the extender, are you using wps? - Yes - or rather both, i.e. I tried it both ways. With WPS and with the repeater configuration setup.

The status page helps us to check it. there really shouldn't be any errors on it.
But it helps us. Please include a screensnip.
Also, what wired speed do you get from the extender?
What router do you have it connected to?
that extender is a basic AX1800 extender. If you don't have an AX router, its not going to see any speed benefit over the trendnet as it'll connect around those same speeds as the trendnet in AC.
