What actual extender do you have? (ac1200 is a speed, not a model)
Do you have them set with separate ssid's? or the same?
In terms of channels, if they're in extender mode, they have to be on the same channel as the router or they can't communicate with it.

Are they setup in a daisy chain setup or star configuration?
Daisy: Router------>extender------>extender
Star: extender<------Router------->extender
