The EX7000 is a wifi extender. You have to connect it to a router. This can be by wifi or by Ethernet.
Manuals are always a good place to start.
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide.
There may also be some helpful videos on what to do.
You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

You don't need to register anything with Netgear to set up this device. So any login details on whatever you signed up for is irrelevant.
The label on the device will have wifi login details and device login details.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
