Bought two AX8 Extender's. ? on how to set-up the 2nd AX8
When I add the 2nd extender via the app the 1st extender disconnects from my netgear home router network. How do I connect the 2nd w/out disconnecting the 1st?
Turn OFF the 1st extender while you set up the 2nd like you did with the 1st one. Once it's online, just turn ON the 1st extender.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
6000 sq ft. 3000 per floor. The house is a ranch with a downstairs.
Ok, did that. But when i go to the app and look at devices it says no devices connected. So how do I know that they are both working?
The app for what device? the router? the extender?
Did you set the extenders up in mesh mode? If so, its the devices (phone/tablet/etc) that chooses when to roam between the router and the extender. Or you can disable the mesh function and program them yourself.
Nighthawk app. Netgear AC3200 Router. EAX80 Extender. And I did Not know one could disable the mesh fnc.
They currently seem to b both working.
