When I try to extend network, doesn't find my network

Hi, My Airport Extreme is connected to my modem via ethernet. When I use the Airport utility and try to extend my network, it only gives me the option to extend a different network - I'm assuming a wireless one in my neighborhood - but does not give me the option to extend the network for the modem it is connected to.

Apple cannot extend non-apple wireless networks.. you create a wireless network with the same name and security settings if you want a roaming network.

Extend will result in severe network issues and apple may have finally modified the airport utility to stop you doing it which is a good thing.
