    I've attached images of the instruction I'm following in case anyone wants to see. So for the available connections, as in image 1 below, it says that "TP-Link_Extender" will show up. But as you can see in my screen shot, all that shows up is the second (middle) network as in image 2. It does not make sense that this network is called "WLB29218058-2.4G_EXT". As in image 3 it reads that the extender "uses your router network's name with '_EXT' at the end". Although this middle network does have "_EXT" at the end, it does not bear similarity to our network router's name.

    It says that the extender shares the same password as the router, but when I try to connect to it the middle option on that list using our password, it just displays what is seen in image 4.

    Is it possible that this is a neighbour's device?
    "WLB29218058-2.4G_EXT".

    No, it only comes on when I plug in the extender. Nearest house is pretty far away.

    Have you tried resetting or resyncing all the extenders plugged in

    Ate they connected to an actual socket or an extension cable

    Have you tried connecting them 1 by 1 to see that they all work independently of each other
