Connecting two EX3700 AC750 Wifi Extenders but only one shows up

I bought two EX3700 AC750 wifi extenders and was able to hook one up through the WPS on my Technology Modem Router. The other one does not show up and the router light is red. For a week it wasn't showing any color and now all the sudden shows red which means a bad connection but it's in the same room as the modem/router. How do I get a better connection?

Turn off the working EX and reset the other EX and setup from scratch. Does this 2nd EX work in place were ther 1st EX was? If not, this unit maybe bad.

 

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between the main host wifi and EX to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
