Q: Airport Utility won't allow extended network in version 6.1

My base station is an 802.11n Time Capsul, and I have four Express Units to stream music. I want to set one of them to extend my wireless network to strengthen the signal to a Blu Ray player with internet connections. When I set the Express to "extend a wireless network" Air Port Utility drops it from my network. Also there is no " allow this network to be extended" tab as there was in earlier editions. Otherwise the network works fine. Any ideas?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Base station is an 802.11n Time Cap

    The issue seems trickier. I have a Sony Blu-Ray player connected to my Extended Network Express unit with a Cat-6 cable. It joins my network but cannot connect to the internet, no matter what settings I use. VUDU suggested I run a couple Terminal programs, and they indicate I have a triple NAT. My ISP says they can't do anything more than restore my main router, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Do I need to find a way to get all my addresses to match? One address is the Lan IP address of my Time Capsul, there are two others that I can only guess belong to my various Express units ( though I would think I would have four, to match the number of Express units plus the router.) Any ideas?
