Cpe210 and Unifi network / APs?

Hi, trying to connect the cpe 210 as a wireless extender (repeater) to connect the house with a barn about 150 ft away. I have a linksys router in the barn that (in theory) will pick up the broadcast signal from the cpe to then distribute Wi-Fi in the barn. The home system is a unifi network with access point 6 lite APs. I've been through the setup as a repeater on the cpe, everything seems to go fine, but the cpe is not showing up on the unifi controller or connected as a device to the access point. The signal bars on the side of the cpe show no signal - power is on and LAN is lit up.
what's strange is I also have a google nest Wi-Fi system and doing the same setup, the cpe connects fine and seemingly is broadcasting the signal of that network (all signal lights on the side of the cpe are lit up). I'm transitioning from the google mesh to unifi, so keeping what works today is not an option.
I did search for answers but could only find an article from 2015 and the use of unifi airmax causing issues. I don't think or couldn't find anywhere in unifi that deals with airmax.
it seems an option (but would like it to be a last resort) is to buy another cpe and install at the barn and use the ap and client setup.
any ideas? Many thanks.
