EAX15 Extender Set Up/Connect to Laptop

HELP!  My husband thinks he knows what he is doing with what should be an easy set up on an Extender. How do I connect to it on my laptop?  I should be able to see it as an option when choosing Wi-Fi Correct? Why cant I?  And what is it called?  He swears he didnt name it anything.  Lord!  Help me!

    He's actually right (sorry!). 

    the EAX15 is a mesh extender. So if it was setup using wps or even the standard setup, it functions as a mesh. Meaning it uses the exact same ssid as the primary router and lets your devices roam between it and the router as needed.
