What's the model number? I get the feeling you're misunderstanding how Wi-Fi extenders work.

It looks like that Ethernet port can be used in one of two fashions. If the extender is in AP (Access Point) mode then that port is meant to connect the the router as a source of Internet. When set to run as a Repeater the port will act as a source of Internet for a wired client.

 

So you probably have it in the wrong mode or the Repeater isn't connecting to your router. One or the other.

I would say then there's something else were missing here. I can't pull up the repeaters user guide right now. It'd be pretty helpful. I'd say verify what mode it's in and reread how to configure the Ethernet port.

wifi extender is not wireless router, you need at least one wireless router to work. altho routers do have extender function.

 

for more complex layout is better to use powerline adapter
