Smartconfig will not work with Linksys WiFi extender

[ltbeck]

I have a Linksys WiFi router and a Linksys RE9000 extender running in AP mode. Both devices have unique SSIDs. Smartconfig works perfectly when my phone is connected to the router but fails when the phone is connected to the extender. Debug hangs at:

I (406) smartconfig: SC version: V2.8.0
I (5226) wifi: ic_enable_sniffer
I (5226) sc: SC_STATUFINDING_CHANNEL

I have tried several esp-touch tools available on the Play store. Help?

Thanks - Lance
