Computer can't connect to OneMesh extender

I set up an extender in a OneMesh network with my existing router. Those are the only two networking devices. However, my laptop refuses to connect to the extender's part of the network. I have it set to smart connect so that all the networks and bars have the same name/settings, but I also tried renaming the 2.4G band in case the router's 2.4 network was stronger than the extender's 5G. But still no luck. My laptop has a Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1659s wifi adapter if that matters.
@Solla-topee I have both an iPhone XS and a OnePlus 9 and both of them switch between the router and extender fine. There are no errors when I connect, it just only connects to the router. So if i'm further away, instead of connecting to the extender, it connects to the 2.4GHz band of the router instead. Even if I explicitly tell it to connect to the extender in Killer Control Center, it disconnects for a second and reconnects to the router.
I've tried completely uninstalling the Killer Suite and driver, restarting, clearing temp files, restarting and reinstalling. I've tried connecting with windows before Killer Control Center is installed, but it still refused to connect to the extender's network.
Router: Archer AX21, 1.3.1 Build 20210521 rel.72254
Extender: RE605X, 1.0.4 Build 20210507 Rel. 151958
I've been constantly checking for updates since I got the extender so they should both be up to date.
