Extender not recognizing router

Extender is not recognizing the router.  I used manual setup.  My router password is very long and the extender does not connecting to the router.  My tablet recognizes the extender and the extender network but it is not connected to the internet.

Have you tried to use the WPS method to connect the extender to the router.

Router didn't support WPS.  I finally figured it out.  I should have used 128 setting instead of 64.  128 setting allowed me to enter the entire password.  Worked fine after I figured that out.  Thanks for looking.
