Wireless extender won't connect to router - set up complete but won't connect!

I have tried multiple times to set up my WN3000 with my new BT router with no success. I have used factory reset and been through the set up process. I get to the point when it says the extender is configured and it appears in my wifi network , but when I try to connect I get message from Windows saying it can't connect. I have the extender and the router in the same room and the signal seems fine. 

 

Can anyone help as it's driving me mad!

Hello Counce

 

Have you gone into the wireless settings of the windows computer and tell it to forget the network name and then try to connect again?
