ESP32 functions unavailable when on extended WIFI

ESPHome

Hi Folks,

HA is running on a PI3 B with RJ 45 connection to the primary router. The ESP32 in my home office is connected to the same router’s wifi and things work well in HA.

I have another ESP32 in my living room with PIR, AC Remote, and two Lights. Since my primary router wifi does not get till my living room I have a WIFI extender with the ESP32 connecting to the extended WIFI. While the logs and Supervisor show this ESP connected in HA through ext wifi, the automation functions are “unavailable” in the overview screen. I tried re-adding these entries, rebooting wifi/ext_wifi, HA but no joy. When I move this ESP back to the primary wifi these entries become available again.

Any idea what’s going on.

Homeoffice_control1 is in my living room.
