Ipad connects to _EXT, but doesn't connect to main network

My ipad was connected to the main network. The first time I switched it to the EXT network, it would connect to the EXT network and now it won't connect to the main network. 

 

It it won't ever connect to the main network, even though it can find it. A fried came over with their iphone, and it was able to connect to the EXT network, but not the main network. 

  • Yes,  I tired forgetting the main and the Ext. Still won't connect to the main.  Only connects to the Ext

    Hello Aelk799

     

    Have you tried to forget the main network or even both then connecting again?

        You may want and try to rename the extender or the main routers SSID.
