plemans, many thanks for your help.
We are now up and running. Our far bedroom Amazon Echos are seeing a very strong wifi signal, where before, we were getting dropouts with a touch of off-into-the-ether.
My situation was not normal because the engineering workstation that's my main computer does not have wifi and thus no way to find or connect to the extender's built-in local network NETGEAR_EXT. The workstation connects to the wifi router via Ethernet and the NETGEAR_EXT didn't show in any understanding place on the router's dashboard.
Very much appreciated.
