Hello everybody,
Thanks in advance if you can help me.
My EX6150v2 was connected to a FON HotSpot to extend the 2.4Ghz Signal to other place in the home. The Fon Hotspot is died after several years of good service.
I 've replace the Fon HotSpot with EX7000 netgear Wifi Range Extender, connected to my Router Internet BOX with a ethernet cable (before reaching the router internet Box, the EX7000 is connected to a port of a Netgear Switch)
When EX7000 is the only Extender, it works good.
But signal must be extended to other place in the home, and EX7000 is too short.
I think to connect my EX6150v2 to my EX7000 (to extend signal from EX7000).
I don't knwow if it's possible.
But i see here that it could probably be "daisy chaining".
My EX6150v2 seem's to not connect to EX7000.
I've tested the "fastlaan" but don't work.
If possible to daisy chain, how can i do this ?
Thanks for your help

devices can roam between router/ap but for truly seamless roaming you need 802.11k/r/v or they tend to be sticky.
I haven't seen any offical statements from netgear if the mesh extenders are able to use these roaming standards in AP mode.
And I've asked a mod or 2 but haven't seen any responses back.
it'd be nice if they did because then you could basically skip a full orbi setup and use the mesh extenders in AP mode.
