Connected to what router?
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
WiFi Range Extenders & Nighthawk Mesh - NETGEAR Communities
You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
Check for various troubleshooting tips.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
The extender is extending a wifi signal from Xfinity modem/router..

Bit thin on detail.
Mesh is, as the name suggests, a Mesh with other WiFi sources.The usual arrangement is a WiFi router (satellite or extender) connected to a router.
Mesh refers to the seamless transfer of a WiFi client between WiFi sources. This involves communication between the WiFi sources during the handover process.
What's a mesh WiFi system? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
As that says (emphasis added):
A mesh WiFi system is a package of WiFi devices that works together to provide much greater WiFi coverage than conventional routers or access points (APs).
In your case, there si only one Mesh device. You won't see Mesh transfer from the anonymous modem/router to the EX7300.
So "not meshing" is as expected. A single repeater has nothing to Mesh with.
The EX7000 can Mesh with some routers. But probably not yours.
Maye your problem is something other than "Meshing".
