Range Extender rpt v3 wont ignore BT Hotspot

Hi Darren
It does yes, or at least it does on a mobile phone or laptop. The extender seems to latch on to whichever one randomly. Can it be "locked" to one, or ignore the other maybe. I couldn't see how to do it under settings - which I can only access when it's on the right one (the non hotspot one!)

Hello Spender1330
You may want to factory reset the extender and connect it to the router using WPS this may stop it from jumping to the hotspot.
