Use an Ethernet cable to connect the wired device to the green 'Ethernet' port on the unit.

How do I reset the range extender to factory defaults?

Press and hold the 'Reset' button for about eight seconds. Alternatively, you can use the Administration > Factory Defaults screen in the browser-based utility.
