I set one up in the garage and will set one up in the living rm. Do I change the ssid's for the extenders @ routeriogin.net or go through the extender web site . Once I change ssid's then each one connects seperately , so there should be no conflicts ? I set the one in garage matched to the router .

When you change the ssid you ensure they're not accidentally connecting to each other.
You can change the ssids either through the extender site or using its ip address.

I don't have a good response for you. They're both AC1200 devices. luckily they're simple plug in units. try them setup one way for a bit and then swap them.
