Is it possible to run 2x EX7700's on the same network? Yes. But it might take a little playing with settings.
Some set it up and don't have any issues. Others run into issues when the extenders are running in mesh setup and connect to each other and not back to the router. This can happen when the extenders are in range of each other and for some reason they disconnect from the router. Sometimes they attach to each other.
Easiest fix and most stable connection? Give one of the extenders its own unique ssid. Then they don't make a loop with it going extender <---------->extender.
I usually recommend people look into upgrading to a mesh network when they start needing more than 1 extender to provide coverage. They're more seamless, better performance, and are a designed mesh system.
