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?
The EAX80 will work with it for sure. It is backwards compatible.
Just didn't know if you planned on upgrading the router to AX since both extenders will be.
Just so I know, which AX Router were you referring to?
I wasn't referring to any specific on. You'd just said you had the AC3200 (R8000?) router which is a triband ac device.
You could always cheat a little if you didn't mind not using it fully mesh (for stability/load balancing) and turn off smart connect on the R8000. Then connect one of the EAX80's to one of the 5ghz and the other EAX80 to the other 5ghz band. That'd let you load balance the router/extenders a little and might help with stability/speeds.
