Ex7000 won’t connect to mywifiext after making same name as network

[dpl77]

How can I undo making the original “NETGEAR_EXT” the same name as my home network?

what firmware version is on your EX7000? mesh was a feature added after it was initially released so if you're on early versions of the firmware, you'd need to upgrade. 

If you're on the later firmwares, its called "one wifi" and can be enabled/disabled.

It won’t let me connect to mywifiext.local to be able to check

Log into your router. In your router should be an attached devices list (or equivelent). 

that'll have the extender's ip address (if you set it up). 

Use that to connect/access the extender.
