EX3700 - Network Names
Can I use the same Network Name for a 2nd extender so I don't have to change my setting when I move from room to room?

can you? sure
Should you? Depends. Problem with the non-mesh extenders is that devices will remain connected to it even if the router is closer and a better signal because they're "sticky". so many times its better to have a seperate name so you can manually switch to the other network if needed.
