2 x EX7300 installation
Hello,
Hopefully someone can help give me advice. I am going to install 2 x EX7300 in cottages for a client. They have a line of sight attena's to send the signal from the house to the two cottages...

I'm a bit confused here. The Devolo plug extender is powerline, correct? So it is taking ethernet from the cottage antenna modem and putting it onto the powerline. Where's the other end of the powerline network?

These are not powerline due to not being on the same ring circuit. I have asked a few more questions. I was under the illusion that the antenna modem was installed directly into the BT Home Hub, but could be into ANOTHER extender. I have asked the customer this and awaiting a reply. Planning on heading back to the customer this Thursday and installing the 2 x EX7300. I have set one up as an AP and the other as an extender .
The customer now wants the current Devolo extender to stay in place. Am I able to piggy back off that using the 2 EX7300? If so would I put the extender into extender mode?

I think you need to give us more information here - what is the Devolo model, and what is the device using the line of site antennas?
Hi,
The antenna information I dont have but the Devolo plugs is an dlan 200. I can confirm this worked but coverage was poor. They also had another plug in the 2nd cottage and that had the wifi turned off. So customer is now looking at adding these 2 ex7300 to his current set up is this possible.
