Extender EX6130 does not support open WiFi
I have a EX6130 dual-band wifi extender (interestingly, I couldn't find this model listed in the dropdown list, the 6130 is not present between 6120 and 6150... by the look of it, it's very similar...
An "open" network that requires a login would need a travel router. They're not an "open" network because they require that login.
Those networks assign an ip address to the mac of the extender. And the extender doesn't assign ip addresses to the devices connecting. so they don't get service. A travel router would. Netgear used to make one but it doesn't any more.

- Thanks for your reply, even tho I didn't know there was much of a difference between WiFi extenders. The term "travel router" is completely new to me.
