Is the AC1900 WiFi Mesh Extender backwards compatible by default in type b/g/n wifi?
I have extended my wifi with the AC1900 WiFi Mesh Extender and my sonos beam does not see the network in the basement even though my samsung TV does.

I'm a bit confused here.
what router did you connect the extender to?
Did you set it up in mesh mode (same ssid)?
Or did you disable that feature?
The tv "sees" the network but not the sonos?

Yes I set it up in mesh mode with the same SSID as the wifi router/modem. Sonos beam doesn't see the network in list off networks to connect it to, and sonos error says to make sure your wifi is transmitting in b/g/n. And yes, the TV and any other device in the basement now sees the network strong after I installed the mesh extender on the floor above it but the sonos beam that is sitting under the TV doesn't.
