How to create independent network

I want to use the device to create a separate network for my guests. In normal use, a pc connected to the extender can see another pc connected to the original router. I do not want that.

Re: How to create independent network

If your original router has a guest Wi-Fi network, you should be able to use the extender to extend that network.  If you are currently using your extender to extend your main Wi-Fi network, then you'll need to buy a second extender for the guest network.

Thank you for such a quick response. I am looking at the configuration of my router and it does not have a guest WI-FI network.

Most routers have a guest network.  What model is your router?

Your router appears to not have a guest network.
