I'll have to plug back in and check it to verify, but I believe it was on the same SSID.
the EX3100 isn't a mesh extender. So make sure to have it using a different ssid from the primary router.
Also, it isn't the fastest extender and is pretty basic. so only have devices connecting to it if they're in that zone that didn't have coverage or had poor service.
Overall, extenders are great at adding extra coverage and coving dead spots but if an area already has wifi coverage (so long as its half decent) they won't really boost speeds because of how they work.
