Do I need to connect my devices to the the 2GEXT and 5GEXT networks?
Hello, This might be a stupid question, but wanted to ask. When using the wifi extender, do I need to connect to multiple network names based on where I am in the house? <explanation below> ...

Hello JamminB
In order to get the best signal you would have to tell each device to connect to the extender when moving through out the house but if you want a network where you can move around and always be connected to the same network you may want to look at our new router called Orbi its basically a router with a satellite unit that you place where you would have a extender and it creates one big network in your home.
