I've seen a ton of posts on that router with issues.
You can try setting up via the WPS method but if the administration assistant isn't work, I'd doubt wps will.
If you search google for that router +extender, you see a ton of issues.
Wish I had better news for you.
If you're renting it, I'd ask for a different router.

Doing some research now on issues with the spectrum router. Thank you for responding and giving me some insight on the issue. You weren't playing around when you said there are lots of issues with that router. That has to be the issue because I can see the NETGEAR_EXT network, I can connect to it, but the connection properties say "Connected, no internet". I can't set it up via the Nighthawk App, the web mgmt page, connected via ethernet to laptop, no matter how many times I reset the extender or try to connect it to my access point, I get the wrong password message everytime. So I think its time to come up with a different solution.
