Wifi Extender EX6100 - Ethernet Connection Not Working

I set up my Extender EX6100 wirelessy by using my laptop to connect and extend the 2.4 and 5ghz channels. If i use my network adapter to connect to the one of the extender's channels it works, however, I tried to connect my pc directly to the extender and it says its connected to EX6100_NETGEAR_2GEXT which doesn't allow me to use the internet. I can access mywifiext.com to configure settings though.

Can someone please help me? I got a new router and the ethernet connection to the extender worked with an older router. I am currently running Windows 10 OS if that is relevant.
