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...
Ok I have more information. At each end of the antenna there are two access points (Draytek Vigor AP700 802.11n access point). So I could use both EX7300 as extenders?

That is helpful. I'm thinking the Drayteks must be running in Bridge Mode. Given the history, you might want to confirm that the Drayteks are still operational (since it's possible that that the Devolos were deployed because the antenna system failed).
If they are functioning in bridge mode, you'd connect one EX7300 to the Draytek ethernet (in the first cottage), and set it up in AP mode. Then set up the second EX7300 in extender mode (connecting to the first EX7300's client network).
This will likely perform better than the Devolo - once you can demonstrate that to the customer, you could suggest that you match the Devolo SSID and password, and disconnect them.
