    Did you try setting it up using the push button WPS option? 

    If so, factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.

    To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on. 

    Here's a video of how to use the assistant.

        go through the connection process on the netgear. Once that is completed, you can log into the spectrum router and find the IP address for the extender. Use the IP address to access it
