EX6150/AC1200 WiFi Range Extender

Question

Hi&nbsp;Just received this today and initial set-up has been very straight forward.&nbsp;However, ideally I'd like the extender to work by replicating the network so that devices will connect seemlessly as they move around the property.&nbsp; So far I can only see it setting up with a different network name and thus it will require a manual movement from one network to the other - unless of course the device loses connectivity completely to the main network.&nbsp;Does anyone know if it is possible to set this device up to replicate the network and allow a seemless change for devices as they move around and the signal from the main router becomes weak?

Hi&nbsp;PQALZM,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; You can change the SSID of extender to same as router. You can use the link&nbsp;https://kb.netgear.com/26074/How-to-change-the-SSID-password-and-wireless-security-of-your-EX7000 to do the same. Do note that not all devices will do seamless roaming and devices that supports 802.11k only support seamless roaming.
