No not at all does the n4 show the ssid in WiFi settings?

Yes it does. It's listed as; "NETGEAR_EXT". I have the correct passphrase. All other devices in the home connect without a problem as well! My note 3 had no problems connecting also...

Thank you for reaching back out to us, bobd104. Have you tried configuring your router or extender to only broadcast in B,G or just N signal? This may help your Note 4 connect. Keep us posted!

Yeah they mean going to it's administration page. But have you reset it? Try that even though other devices currently connect.  Does it connect to any other WiFi networks?

The device connects to any wifi router(i.e., retail stores, work, etc.). Just not extended WiFi routers!

I know connecting to the WiFi is important to you, bobd104. What happens when you try to connect to the extended WiFi router? Are you getting a specific error message?
