Range Extender AC 1200
I have two range extenders and want to change the name so I know which one I'm connecting to. BTW can I hook up two range extenders to My Netgear Nighthawk dual band Router?
What actual router do you have ?
What range extender do you have? (hint, ac1200 is a speed, not a model)
If you go to Support | NETGEAR type in your actual model number. It'll take you to guide and manuals that show you how to change the ssid (name) to whatever you want. Or even to disable "one wifi" feature so you can change names.
If you are using more than 1 extender, I'd highly recommend setting them up in a star configuration and not daisy chained.
daisy chain: Router------->extender-------->extender
Star: Extender<---------router---------->extender.
router: RP6900P
Extender: EX6120
Thanks for your help. I'll check out the manual.
