Not sure it’s set up correctly
Currently I have the extender set up with “ext” as a suffix with the first part being my main router name. 1. To get a better signal do I have to connect directly to the routers SSID (ext) or does it...
Anyone?
Also noticed that looking at the nighthawk app it only shows the ext name as having the 2.4 ghz!.... where has the 5ghz gone?
Hi Edrx7, we'd love to answer your questions.Here are our thoughts.
- The EX7700 has a MESH/One WiFi Name feature. This means that you can set it up that it has the same WiFi name as your main WiFi router
- We recommend connecting your devices to whichever signal is the strongest at its location
- The user manual and installation guide linked below may help out
