So wps doesn't always work properly because manufacturer's code it differently. so it can sometimes connect the extender to the router but then devices can't connect to the extender. Or vice versa.

Thank you very much! It has worked. I followed the instructions and have established a connection. It is barely any better than the unextended signal, but that's because I'm using the device in an outbuilding that is at the limit of the router's range.

glad to hear you got it working as it should!
