Hi Darren
basically i I keep getting ext 2 ext 3 on devices in room where I need to connect over net gear extender but computer will connect to ext 2 but printer will not and vice versa I have found out on another forum how to delete unwanted network connections and also how to merge so iam thinking of trying to set up fresh and merge the exsisting base connection 2/5 signal strength with the boosted connection 5/5 signal strength and then hopefully both devices will connect to one network and all will hopefully work correctly

Hello Ocin400
Most printers are 2.4ghz wireless connections did you make sure that your extender is not 5ghz only.
