Can't locate NETGEAR_EXT Wi Fi on my phone.
Trying to set up a Wi Fi Mesh Extender which uses Nighthawk. It asks me to connect the NETGEAR_EXT Wi fi to my mobile phone. This Wi Fi doesn't appear in a search and I've tried to put it in manual...

What extender do you have?
That'd be nice to know as there's many "mesh" models that don't use a separate ssid but the same as the router.
And if they're setup using wps, they'll automatically use that same ssid.
Its designed so devices can choose to roam between extender/router as needed and without needing the input of the user.
