EXT 7700 and R7000 wont stop displaying EXT 5G

I have a R700P router, currently set in AP mode and two EX7700 Mesh Extenders. R7000P is set to smart connect so it should be only broadcasting the wifi SSID I have allocated to my 2.4 band. I have allocated same SSID to the 5 band as well. That should also be true of the two EX7700 units, however they continue to broadcast their ownNETGEAR_5GEXT SSID. I am unable to find a way to disable this SSID and ensure that the units are infact funtioning as a MESH system. Any suggestions appreciated.

Model: EX7700|AC2200 Nighthawk X6 Tri-Band WiFi Mesh Extender, R7000P|Nighthawk AC2300 Smart WiFi Dual Band Gigabit Router

did you enable "one wifi"?
