I do not see my range extender as a wifi option

I have set my range extender up but I cannot see the extender as an option to select. I see more normal wifi network but not one that says "_ext", what could be the problem or how do I fix this?

    While connected to your main network try to go to www.mywifiext.net and see if a login pops up to try and access you extender if it does login and go to the wireless settings and see what the SSID is showing. If that does not work hold the reset button for 10+ seconds on the extender and you should be able to set up the extender again.
