Access point WAC 104

I have bought two of the same access point extenders.

I can’t seem to use both. I have one connected downstairs but can’t get the second one to connect.

How do I use two same access points in one house?

Thanks

Nick

    Hi Nick, give both devices the same SSID and login name but different channel, for example 1 and 11.

    I think this is the solution.

      The WAC104 isn't an extender device. However, it's possible to configure one WAC104 wired to the primary router as a Wireless Base Station (for serving up to four WAC104 as a Wireless Repeater - as shown in the manual under the title "Set Up a WiFi Distribution System" p.56 ff.
