Nighthawk extender setup

I'm trying to set up an EAX20 extender via the ap on an iphone 6.  The phone can't find the NETGEAR_EXT wifi network.  What am I doing wrong?

    Did you set it up using wps? If so, the default configuration uses the primary routers ssid as its a mesh extender. 

    If no, try factory resetting the extender. push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
