Netgear EX7000 WiFi Extender creating new networks, not extending current
Hello All, I purchased two of these EX7000s to create a mesh in my largish home and extend my current Xfinity Network (their latest gen router), much like the XPods do. I was told these had great...
Update,
I installed the second EX7000, power cycled the Xfinity router and waited a bit for the mesh to form. Half an hour or so later in my office (where I was most concerned), where I was once getting 60-70mbps, I'm now getting about 300mbps. We're seeing similar through the house. I'd call this one solved.
Thanks for your assistance. I never did see that One WiFi Name setting though? Maybe with a firmware update?
did you run the setup with one wifi enabled? How do I enable or disable One WiFi Name on my Nighthawk Mesh WiFi Range Extender? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
No I did not. I will try this and let you know how I make out. Thanks for the tip!
