Can't extend Guest Network in roaming mode

Hi,

My setup:

ISP - AirPort Time Capsule (6ht gen) - Ethernet - Cisco Switch - Ethernet - AirPort Extreme (5th gen) i.e. "roaming wired network", "create wireless network mode", radio mode is the same, channels separated, 2,4 Ghz, 5 Ghz and Guest network presented, passwords, names, updates and so on are the same.

Problem:

If to connect from place where AirPort Extreme acts, Guest network is reachable, signal is excellent, however connection fails, i.e. Guest network just can't be extended, however 2,4 Ghz and 5 Ghz extend fine.

PS:

If to connect Airport without Ethernet, i.e. "by air", Guest network is extended fine.

Any thoughts?

Oops, on more careful reading: only the Express needs factory reset?

I've done this a couple of times now, you can see images of the process at:

airport express extending extreme network causes printer access problem

It seems it should if it works for others, and my HW/SW seems OK:

Extreme: MC340LL, A1354; 4th generation; 7.6.4 firmware

Express: MC414LL, A1392; new/"certified refurbished", (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M4L4OKA), 7.6.4 firmware

The rest of the net is dead simple: Cable modem > Extreme > One ethernet client, rest wifi > Express.

What am I doing wrong?!
