Wifi extender

I recently bought an wifi extender and tried to connect it but it doesnt seem to do the job. The lights are all green except the Router link LED. My router is on and working well and have no idea why its not turning green. What does this mean and how should i fix this?

    It means that the extender isn't connected to the router's wifi network.

     

    If you log into the extender wifi network, and then browse to mywifiext.net then you should get into the extender's web ui.  You can manually enter the network name/passphrase of your router there, and try to connect it.

     

    BTW, your picture doesn't look like an EX3920 to me - it looks more like an EX6400.  Can you double-check the model number?
