Below is the instruction to configure the extender via WPS button.

If it still does not work, please reset it by holding the reset hole for 1s with the extender powered on. And then use the web UI to configure it.

Note: You can connect your cellphone to the extender's wifi to login to the web UI to set it up.

 

May it help.

You are welcome. Take your time to test it. 

 

While if WPS still does not work, it is suggested to use cellphone to give it a shot. It is easy, so do not worry about that.
