connect the PC directly to extender via ethernet cable , disable wifi on computer using then try www.mywifiext.net
look at manual Use NETGEAR Genie to Set Up the Extender
and use wizard and avoid using WPS. Scan the your SSID of 3400 and put encryption key for 3400

I have seen this response before on other questions regarding being unable to connect. But unfortunately it's not clear.
When I use the Genie
Step 1. is identifying the router - so we choose the name of our router
Step 2. is providing the wi-fi password - but my router is configured already as WPAS-PSK
Step 3. my router is not 5g compliant so I SKIP this step
When I click Continue the extender is attempting to complete the connection of Router - Extender - Device
and we all get the The extender was not able to connect error msg
How can I avoid using WPS? There is no option in the Genie
How do I scan my SSID of 3400? Also do not see any option to do this
Put the encryption key 3400 where exactly?
What specifically are you telling us to do?
Thank you for your assistance.
