I then tried to set up using installation assistant but I couldnt connect to the extender to access the website it says. This seems to be a common problems but I have tried others and hasnt worked
"tried others and it hasn't worked"
What do you mean by this? You've tried other solutions and it hasn't work? You've tried other extenders and they haven't worked?
What firmware is on your extender?
What router are you connecting to?
have you went into your router and changed the password on the wifi? Make sure to avoid any special characters or spaces. Also make sure autofill is shut off when doing the seutp. Autofill is great at adding/changing things during setup.
