Hi

 

I have a Netgear EXT62000 connected to my router. I then want to connect my Netgear WN2000RPT to the extension.

 

Could you please explain to me how this should be done

    Hi hshah96,

     

    It isn't possible to connect an extender to an extender. (the EX6200 and WN2000RPT). However you can connect the EX6200 to your router, and the WN2000RPT to your router.

     

    "Range extenders are not designed to be daisy-chained. You can use multiple extenders but their main source of wireless connection must be the same. You cannot connect an extender to another extender's wireless network."
