Quick Question - Single Device to Extender
I have a wireless camera for security and needed to extend the wireless network signal because of intermittent loss of connection. The EXT6100 is setup and ready to go. Question is . . .
do I need to change the Wi-Fi on my camera to the wireless network with the "ext" added at the end of my original wireless network's name . . or can it just piggyback the original wireless network using the extender without changing the Wi-Fi on the device?

- Hi spfl74. To answer your question, YES you can use the same SSID of your Router for the Extender.
