Nighthawk X10 Create a mesh with the same SSID with 2 EX8000
Hi
I have a R9000 (5D82855V003DB) router running off a Virgin Media router set as a modem, this router has a SSID as wifi is a real issue in my house and power lines dont work, I purchase 2 EX8000 that now have separate SSID I wanted to set the mesh up so that they all have the same SSID but when I set them up the network drops and I loose all WIFI connectivity
Any ideas on configuration for the router and extenders to prevent WIFI drop outs but have the same SSID throughout the house - the multiple SSID seems to work but means I need to change each time I leave a strong signal
I have tried using the setting on the devices but had to factory reset and have a different SSID
Thanks

do you recomend a channel for the 2 GHz I have multiple other routers so clashing
There are some apps out there that can look for interference, and help you select a reasonable channel.
But you could just set it to use the channel it's selected now.
You might also try setting the 5 Ghz channel to the highest channel number on the list, and see if that is more stable.
