Netgear EX6200 creating Vlans
As you will notice in the picture below I have only created 1 LAN for each of the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels.
For some reason however, my extender will allow itself to develop alternate VLANs ,...
My base router(Netgear R7000) has both 2.4GHz and 5 GHz channels. I use my range extender(Netgear EX6200) 135' away, extending both 2.4 and 5 GHz channels. On my range extender I have connected to both channels on the base router using the SSID of the router. I then named both the 2.4 and 5 GHz channel with a unique SSID. After two to three months I started noticing that my devices were not being connected through the SSID's that I had created but a copy of the SSID. For example I named my 2.4 GHZ channel extend24; after a while my devices would connect to extend24 2 or extend24 3 or extend24 4. They were not connecting to the SSID I had made but a replica with a different number to it. I don't know how best to describe it.
