Wifi extender EX3700 setup problems

I've tried to set this up using WPS but, although router and extender are next to each other, the WiFi doesn't connect. I want to try connect via the Web browser as detailed here - https://kb.netgear.com/23517/How-do-I-set-up-my-NETGEAR-WiFi-range-extender but my WiFi must have a password and will not accept the word 'password' ( see point 2).
I've tried to load the webpage in point 3 but it has no link for NEW EXTENDER SETUP.
Currently my EX3700 shows a green light on Power and Router but nothing else.
Any help much appreciated please.

    What router are you connecting it to?

    since you tried using the push button WPS option,factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.

    To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on. 

    Here's a video of how to use the assistant.
