Really an extender?
I have an N300 range extender and I set it up and all wroking fine. I am using it to extend the range of my network into my home office. The problem is, I realized it's not doing what I thought it...
Look at the Wi-Fi settings on your router to find out what Wi-Fi channel it is using. Do the same with your extender.
Yes, what you observed is the default behavior. If your particular model permits it, you can rename the _EXT network and give it the same name as your main network. Just make sure that the range extender is using a different Wi-Fi channel. This should already be the case, but I just want to make sure in case you think it has to be same.
