Settings for laptop to switch to strongest signal
I am working with someone who has a 4 story, 5,000 sq ft house built in the 1930's. We are using R7000 Nighthawk router and a EX6200 WIFI Range Extender. The SSID of the NIghthawk is Albany. Th...
On the R7000 I can assign the 2 and 5 G frequencies the same SSID. And that made things much better in terms of the signal strength as the users moved about.
However, If I try to do that on the EX6200 (I was going to use the same SSID as on the R7000), I get a pop up saying the the 2 and 5 G signals "have the same SSID"... and won't let me proceed unless the SSID for the 2G is different than the SSID for the 5G.
What am I missing here? I can do this on the R7000? Why not the EX6200?
