Wifi extender cant find my wifi network

I am trying to connect my wifi extender to my wifi and my wifi network isnt showing up on the extender. My neighbor's networks will show up but the one in my house wont even come up under the search menu to connect it. I have FIOS

    It would really help to know the specific model of WiFi extender and how you are attempting to connect it.

    (some models, for example, support WPS, which makes the process "automatic".)

  • Its the eax15. I've tried through was, I've tried manually through the website and I've tried through the app. My wifi network isn't showing up in any of them. I have verizon fios for internet.
