Hi, have you tried pressing the WPS button on the Booster, and then the WPS button on the Wifi 7 Router?

Alternatively, move the Booster closer to the Router and connect with Ethernet cable until the lights go Aqua.  Then you can  unplug and re-position.

@JohnRI Positional wise, were in relation to the router is your booster, rough distance, through number of walls and floor boards etc, mesh does take sometime to tune itself one to the other, and moving a few feet closer can have a dramatic effect if just on the verge of the crossover, plus do you have any other wireless devices transmitting at the same time?

had absolutely same trouble...

I connected it vias UTP cable to router, and connect it that way... seems, it's updated WiFi extender FW and after hard reset, subsequent connection wirelessly worked well...

@Sam_Ashiq It's a process that you have NO influence over, if you cannot wait then have everyone gather round and work of the router wireless signal as best they can.
