Hi @dangelo23 . WPS has to be enabled in router admin.
Login to router. Go to Advanced/Wireless/Advanced Settings and enable WPS and save.

I am trying to connect a tp link range extender via WPS
Hi @dangelo23 WPS is only for connecting a client device such as a PC or Printer etc to the Router, what you need is 'WDS' which is unfortunately not supported with the supplied versions of VR1600v.
A much better option is something like a TP-link Deco M5 mesh kit, they are available in a single, twin or triple pack. I'd suggest you need at least a twin kit as the first unit must be connected to the router via an Ethernet cable and then can connect wirelessly to the other node/s. It's performance will be much better than any bridged range extender.
