Can't pair to WiFi extender

I bought a Devolo Magic WiFi 2 kit to improve the signal around my house. I want to use mesh mode so that I have just the one network around the house. 

I follow the instructions and have to press the pairing button on the devolo and then hold the WPS button on the Hub 3 for 3 seconds. 

The hub 3 WiFi led starts to flash green as it is supposed to but then starts flashing red after a few seconds. It's like it has found the Devolo but can't make the connection for some reason. Does anyone have any ideas what the issue might be?

WiFi extenders by and large are not very good. If you want a mesh, fine, but you need one that is Ethernet cabled to the VM and works as a router so the VM hub can be put into modem mode.
