    What firmware is on the extender? 

    What version do you have? 

    Version 1 was a non-mesh extender while version 2 was a mesh extender. 

    A mesh extender combines the 2.4ghz and 5ghz ssid all into 1 ssid. so a standard scan only shows 1 ssid but the extender moves devices between the 2 bands as needed.
