what extender do you have? AC2200 is a speed.
Usually with the extenders, the 2.4ghz/5ghz light comes on when a device (phone, tablet, pc, etc) is connected to it. It doesn't signify the connection to the router. Again, not 100% because you didn't include extender model.

I bought the Netgear Wifi mesh extender EX7500
The EX7500 is a mesh extender.
Did you set it up using the defaults or using wps? If so, it'll defautl setup in mesh mode (one wifi)
i used the defaults not the WPS, initially tried the WPS but had issues.
