You might be? I can't say for certain because you didn't give me any more info. 

V1 or V2?

What firmware version are you on? 

You could log into the extender and check connected devices? Or even log into your router to see if the extender has been connected.

    Very frustrating, can't seem to keep a wifi connection. I'm not sure that I'm even connected at all. When using my ios to connect, there is not a listing for NETGEAR_EXT. nOT SURE WHAT TO DO. Please I hope you have patience to help me. Thank you.
