I attached pic of quick setup guide I used. Hope this will help clarify. I would think this way isn't what the call 1 tap setup, but then again this is all foreign to me. Sorry, I'm not very helpful. Thank you for your patience, and willingness to try to help me with this!

Are you using any special characters or spaces in the primary routers ssid or password?
If so try removing them. Where does it fail exactly in the process?
I'd also try doing it on a pc and not using a phone.

Did you ever say what the modem is in front of your router?
I can't see it at a quick glance.
- Mz_GSep 16, 2022AspirantMy router is a NetGear N600 Wireless Dual Band Router.
I think I FINALLY figured it out, and have it connected. I had to turn my mobile data off on my phone during the setup. Once I did that, I was finally able to complete the setup, and extender seems to be working great thus far. Thank s for responding, and help. Much appreciated!
