I would think you would have to sign on to the range extender to see the devices attached to it.

I know our range extenders will change the MAC address of connected devices. I'm not sure if Linksys does that too, but if they do some part of the MAC should still be the same in the DHCP client list of the C7.

In order for those connected devices to get an IP be it through the router or extender, they need to request an IP from the router itself. So I would reference the IP of the client device while looking at the DHCP client list. 

 

This is assuming those devices that connect to the extender are running in DHCP and not static.
