In mesh mode, the extender uses the same ssid as the router. It doesn't use the _ext if its running in mesh mode.
What are the led's on the extender doing?
It also has ethernet ports that you can log into it and check settings. Directly connect an device to the ethernet port (disable its wifi so it doesn't revert back to that) and you can log into it.
That'll show you the status page of how its setup, or even let your re-run setup if you'd prefer.
Or you can log into the router and check what IP address the extender is using from the attached devices page and use that to access it.
