Hello,
This article is for those who are getting the problem in detecting the network name of the range extender or wireless devices. This normally encounters if SSID of an extender is not broadcasting properly or extender has not booted properly
First, reboot your extender and check if the problem is resolved or not. If the problem still persists, then check if the SSID has been broadcasted by your extender or not.
The below-mentioned steps can be implemented to check the SSID whether broadcasted or not:
1. Connect your extender to the computer or laptop with the help of Ethernet cable.
2. Open the extender GUI from mywifiext.net
3. If asked for the username and password, enter the name and password you have used for creating an extended account. By default, the username and password is an admin. If it is not working, then someone else might have changed your password.
4. Open ‘Wi-Fi settings’ and click on ‘Enable 2.4 GHz wifi’. Check if ‘Broadcast this Network name’ is enabled or not. If not, then enable it. If you are using an older version of Netgear UI, then you can open the settings from the ‘Advanced menu’. Click to enable SSID broadcast.
5. Verify the name or SSID of your extender from here and select the right SSID.

Thank You
