What I am connected to is something called VM3687074. That is the name of my router .
Ive just unplugged the Extender and i had a brief disconnection then re-connected to the same Signal
Are you saying the extendere carries the same name ? If so how would you know what you are connected to? The Extender or the router itself ?

to know which you're connected to, you'd either need to log into the router or the extender and they show you connected devices.
