Can I extend 2 separate network with the same extender?
Hi, can I use the AX8 Wi-Fi extender to extend 2 separate network? One on the 2.5 band and a separate on the 5? thanks

yes it extends both networks. If you want them seperate so you can see each individually, just disable "one wifi"
Thats the feature that combines the ssid into one and lets devices roam between 2.4ghz/5ghz as needed.

Hi, thanks for your reply. it's an EAX80-100EUS used as a single extender device. Apart from the original router (Fritz box 7530) I don't have any other devices in house.
basically I want to extend the home Wi-Fi network coming from the router on the 5GHz, and the security cameras network on the 2.4GHz.
