My WPS won't light/connect so I have no WiFi security on router?

I was able to set up the extender by the website with the exception of the WPS.  The light blinks for about 30 second or so then shuts off.  I tried to reset and connect via WPS button on my router, and it was the same - blinked then went OFF.  What am I doing wrong that I can't get the extender WPS enabled?

    Hi Tricia0915, when pressed, the WPS light will only light up for about 2 minutes before it goes out again. This the time window to allow you to press the WPS button on the device that you are looking to connect.
