Hi Sonic98,
Welcome to the community!
1. During the extender setup, can the extender pickup the WiFi signal from your main WiFi (xfinity)?
2. Are you getting an error message? If yes, what is the error message?

1. Yes it picks it up just fine. I've only set the regular network up with the WPS button, so I don't know if anything different happens
2. No error it gets all the way to the step where it says ' connect you devices" or something like that.

Hi Sonic98,
1. Are you then able to connect your devices to the extended network?
2. Are you saying that the setup completes but your devices are just unable to go online when connected to the extended network?

- 1. It works fine when password protected network is extended, it works when it's not extended, it works when xfinity is not accepted. I can connect to xfinitywifi_extended. I just can't get online, to the xfinity login, or the extender setup page once I connect to it.
2. The setup does appear to complete - I got it
