If you didn't reset the original it should connect. But you can always try rerunning setup on it

try shutting off the 1st one while doing setup on the 2nd. Then once its setup, power the first back on

Shut off ist floor extender but didnt make any difference.
I did finally connect to the set up gene with ethernet cable and was able to connect laptop and other devices to the new extender but after several attempts. Authentification problems shown on mobiles.
However the extender wps led is not turning on so I assume I have no security? Have I missed something in the set up?

You were able to hardwire into it and go through the setup using the installation assistant?
Is that correct?What authentication problems are you getting?

yes I connected an ethernet cable.
1st floor extender N300 is showing authentification error. New ac750 extender no wps but can access internet.
