AC750 WiFi Range Extender

Hi All

 

I'd like my extender to be just that, an extender but the way it appears to be setup as default is a different connection.

 

Here is my little quandry.

 

I've 2 rooms. In each room I have speakers. I use 2 Chromecast Audio to connect to the 2 speakers. 

 

It appears both have to be connected to the same connection point for them work as a group.  At the moment this works as my wifi range reaches both speakers but I want to extend to a 3rd speaker which is too far away from thw main router.

 

When I connect to the extender and then sit near the main router, this appears to disrupt the signal. I must then switch my device to the main router.

 

I'd like my wifi signal  to be extended/boosted so my devices cannot tell the difference between each connection point and it works seamlessly.

 

Cheers

D

    You may need a mesh system like orbi for this.
