AC1200 Range Extender EX 6150v2

When working thru setup on my range extender the NETGEAR_EXT wi-fi does not show up in the list of available wi-fi units.  Power and WPS lights both show green.  What do I do now ???

    The EX6150v2 is a mesh extender. If you initially set it up using WPS, it'll connect to the router and have the same ssid as the router. 

    If you set it up this route, you can factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.

    To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on. 

    Here's a video of how to use the assistant.
