Router not showing up as available networks

AC2300 Smart WiFi Router (R7000P) is not communicating to S22 Ultra nor S4 Tab. Not seeing NETGEAR33 5G as available network. I am seeing NETGEAR33_Ext. I don't recall seeing Ext before. Ext will not connect. I did the unplug router thing. No luck. I'm a bona fide ol' fart (70 years old). Can someone help with troubleshooting? Speed test on PC was 106.87 Mbps

    Are you using smart connect? Smart connect combines the 2.4ghz and 5ghz network into a single ssid so they don't show as separate.
