Trying to make a camera connect to an extender

I’m having one of my Ring cameras refusing to connect to my WiFi extender which about 4 feet away, it is connected to the main router which is about 40 feet away. Can anyone suggest away to force the camera to connect to the extender. I’ve tried unplugging the camera, making sure my phone was attached to the extender and no luck. TIA

    well you didn't really tell us what router and extender you have. Just that you have a ring camera. 

    If your extender uses the same ssid as the router, you can disable that. Its the only way to force the camera to a specific router/extender if its used with the same ssid.
