My best guess is that you are using some sort of isolation feature on 
the AP / router that prevents the guests from accessing the LAN and that 
this same feature isn't being used on the extender.  Or that the 
extender is itself joining as a normal device to the main AP / router 
and allowing the extenders clients to appear as normal clients to the AP 
/ router.
