ex6400 will not show up in my windows 10 network settings

Hello lovely community. So we have 2 hp laptops, both run windows 10 and neither will show NETGEAR_EXT-5G in the network settings.  Our iphones, our Mac, my son's school chromebook and both of our smart TV's show the extender immediately.  One of these laptops is literally brand new.  I've read quite a few troubleshoot threads, but I feel this should be easier.  Is there another driver that can be downloaded that is compatible or something?  What am I missing?

the ex6400 (both version 1/2/3) are mesh extenders. Meaning, that if you set them up using WPS or the default installation, they install using the same ssid as the primary router. Meaning they don't show up at *****_ext. 

If you're wanting them setup in non-mesh function, simply disable onewifi.
