Can't Set Up The Extender

I can't seem to set up the Extender at all. I am trying to use it between a wired router in the office and a wifi blu ray player in the living room. I was told I could set it up half way and it would boost the wifi. The set up paper is telling me to go to a netgear_ext on my computer, but my computer doesn't pick up wifi. The only light shoing up on the Extender is the power. This was supposed to be an easy fix and is turning into a real head ache.....

Take the Extender to the PC, hook up a Cat5 cable from Extender and PC, run setup, once setup completes, place and install as planned. My router is TEST and the Extender sets up TEST_Ext.
