Hi, I fear this is a really stupid question, but:

 

I bought the AC750 wifi extender, and installed it.  All went well.

 

My question is, which network do I connect to, my original network (sturealitynet) or the new one that appears to come from the extender sturealitynet_ext?

 

My original network seems to have more bars.

Hello, you can locate the AC750 in halfway between the main router and wifi dead zone. And please ensure that the extender can get good and stable wifi signal from the main router.

 

Then near to the extender or the wifi dead zone, you can connect your devices to the extender's wifi, vice versa. 

 

Good day.

Hi- but when I go into my computer, and go to reach the wifi (after installing the extender), do I go to my regular wifi, or do I go to this new one I see that is has a _ext on it?

Actually both are okay, you can access internet from both of them. While you can choose to connect to the stronger wifi.
