Dude after all this crap i found solution that i made my self xD In the router setings i black listed 1 thing that that extender was working on because i brought it back and extender now works as intendet . I was woried that that was sth other and was stealing my internet soooo sr for making You on feet to help me. If someone has similar problem i recommend checking your conncted devices . I dont know but i was working with it on the black list for like 4 weeks it just suddenly stoped . Thats why i coudn't connect it by WPS or so . Much thanks dude still for your time have a lovely day and i give you much credit for your suggestions 🙂

Don't connect it to the router with ethernet. Reason why is when its hardwired into the router, it needs to be setup in access point mode and not extender mode. You'd have to re-run setup. 

After your reset, did you try setting it up using the installation assistant? If not, try that. Here's a video of how to.

you might need to factory reset 1 more time to get back to default if you were clicking on the wps button.

Re: Problem with wifi extender EX6120

What firmware is on the extender? 
What router are you connecting it to? 

What modem/gateway is the router connected to?

If you log into your router, are you able to view the extender under the attached devices list?

Glad you got it fixed!

You might mark it solved so others aren't still trying to fix it. 

Plus it helps others find the solution.
