Did you setup the extender already using wps or the installation assistant?
If you set it up already, the EX6100v2 is default a mesh extender. Meaning it uses the same ssid (name) as the router. so it won't show up different unless you manually set it up different.

If you set it up using wps, its running in mesh mode. meaning it has the same ssid as the router.
You won't see the "client link" led light up until a device connects to it. In mesh mode, its the device itself (cell phone, tablet, etc) that roams between the router and the extender.
