What sky router is it?
how are you attempting setup?
Using the installation assistant or using WPS?
What firmware is on the extender?

have you tried setting it up using wps?
you can have the extender in the same room during setup (so you don't have to run the cable). then just move it where you want when its setup

pressed the wps button nothing happened.
the unit works as i can connect to it from devices and it is much quicker but only if the unit is connected to the router.
