Wifi extender Client light red or not on

I am able to connect to the internet using an ethernet cable from my pc to the extender but the client light is either off or red. I have treid a different cable but that made no difference.

I'm a bit confused. You've hooked your computer to the extender and its working? but you're wondering why the led isn't lit up?

i think my connection is fluctuating as the light keeps changing. my connection to the router is always solid green. im unsure why the light is indicating poor client connection

Have you tried a differnet client connected? See if a different laptop has the same issue. Maybe the port on your pc is bad. You said you've tried different cables. 

Does it do the same over wireless?
