Initial

I have a Netgear AC1900 Dual Band WiFi Mesh Extender (don't know why Nighthawk Wi-Fi 5 Router is displayed and can't change it). Upon initial setup, I don't see the _Ext#'s ...2G and 5G on my Android phones wifi list. All I have (other than neighbors wi-fi) is Netgear14. Any help appreciated.

    Not sure what actual model you have but most of the AC1900's are mesh extenders. Meaning in their default setup, they use the same exact ssid as the router. That's the point of being a mesh extender. 

    What actual model do you have?
