The extender' led for power and WPS/Mode are solid and green
The Router and Device lights are off.
I have not reinstalled the Extender. When I attempted to get to the Netgear page after typing xxxxxx and then selecting xxx to log into the extender, I received a message on a new tab "This site cannot be reached". Where xxxxx is the login URL.
I had to reset the router back to factory settings to get the VPN installed.
I can't remember how I installed the extender, except to say that once the cable was connected from the router to the plug socket it seemed to work pretty well.

Factory reset the extender and install it using the installation assistant.
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on.
then follow the installation assistant guide.
