This sounds terrific - now all we need is doc on how to setup these mesh extenders with our ISP dual band modem/routers. I spent last night with support setting up my EX8000 as a traditional extender with the suffixed network names (_2GEXT and _5GEXT) for the extender ids. The manuals are helpless. Why suport set this EX8000 this way I dont know.

There should be a option check box to combine the SSIDs on the EX web page.
