EX2700 - Connectivity issues with Devices

Just tried to set up my extender. 3/4 of the lights are green... Power light is green, WPS is green, and Router is green, but device will not light green, it doesnt light up at all, even red. When i go into my wifi networks, it does not appear that the extended network (my network_EXT) has been created that the directions say should be there. 

 

I followed all directions, but i must be doing something wrong?

If you are seeing NETGEAR_EXT, then join that (it should be open).  Then complete the setup by browsing to mywifiext.net.

 

If you aren't seeing that, then reset the extender and try again.

Not seeing any option for an EXT network, my own or the netgear one. I have reset to factory settings 3 times.

I think something is wrong with the extender hardware.  

 

If this is a new purchase, see if you can exchange it with the seller.  If that is not possible, you can do an RMA through netgear support (my.netgear.com).
