Solved it.
I set the extender up as a stand alone circuit, not as a mesh circuit. The Apple HomePod Mini had no problems recogizing the extended circuit. It just had trouble with the "meshed" ciircuit.
Thanks all.

Yes, I did a search on both Apple and Netgear and a general search.
Yes, I found a lot of problems out there with HomePod and wifi, but not anything that was similar to my problem.
Remember, my iPhone, my HoneyWell thermostats and my Kuna security cameras all work with my NetGear extender hardware. Apple engineers say it is a problem with the extender, and that only high priced ORBI and ERRO devices work.

there should be no reason that it only works with orbi/eero. That'd be a failure on apples part.
