Linksys RE7000 setup is relatively simple and easy. There is a step-wise setup guide that is to be followed meticulously without skipping a step. Power up the extender out of the electrical socket for the setup. Now switch up the router with the WPS-enabled button on the router. Keeping the router's WPS button pressed will only work if the extender also has to be near the router. https://linksys-wifi.com/linksys-re7000-setup/
