hello!
My room mate has a Ubee Modem and a simple D-link router from the looks of it.-----Model numbers are important. Which ones? WPS was how I set it up.---WPS can get coded different between different manufacturers (ruins the point) so try a factory reset of the extender and install it using the installation assistant and NOT wps.
The firmware is the most \"up to date\" version according to mywifiext. Unsure where to find the specific one. ---the status page will say which version you're on.
Going to try plugging it in to my boyfriend's laptop and see the outcome!
Thank you again for helping out.
