EAX20 (AX1800 Wifi 6 mesh extender)
Not at all technoligcally advanced - so bear with me. Extender boots up just fine - and the wifi on my mobile phone is great throughout the house. But, on my iphone 12 pro, can not locate NETGEAR_EXT...

Can other devices see the SSID from the EAX20?
What is the router in front of the EAX20? And the modem (if there is one) in front of that?
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
