EX7000 with my R7000
Hi,
I am hooking up an EX7000 as an extender to my R7000 router. The router is using Smart Connect so 2.4 and 5.0 ghz has the same SSID and the best band is automatically selected for each connected device. I can not see such a setting for the EX7000. Should I just set up both 2.4 and 5 ghz with the same SSID and assume it will work, or will I have to turn off Smart Connect on my R7000?
Hello cdysthe
You can name them the same SSID its not recommended as it can cause some issues with some devices.
