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.

Now tell me how can i separate it manually because some of my device need to use 5ghz and there is no option for that so what should i do??? Please help- plemansGuru - Experienced User
You can disable the "onewifi" feature. That'd allow you to name the wireless bands whatever you'd prefer.
