modem--->8port switch---->extender--->my pc
Where and how is the router connected in this picture? The switch must connect to one of the router LAN port:
Modem <-> (WAN/Internet) Router (LAN) <-> Switch <-> Extender <-> PC

This could indicate that the radio the PC is connected to has no appropriate connection to the router where the DHCP server would hand-out IP addresses, or there could be some MAC based security prohibiting the Internet access on the router.

You have only one network (LAN) - so one SSID is perfectly right - that's the intention of a Mesh system. The wireless client is able to identify the radio with the best connection, and gets informed about neighboring radios so that a portable wireless device can seamless change the radio - without manual intervention (disconnect, select other SSID) - and stay connected.
