Factory Reset And Range Extenders
I have a wifi router in one room and a wifi extender in another room. If I do a factory reset on my main router how does that affect my wifi range extender? Do I have to do a factory reset on both pr...
Ooh ok I understand now. So as long as I keep things the same such as SSID and password etc. after the reset then the Extender will follow the reset router's settings and move smoothly.
What about my Wireless Router (main hub)? Ever since I did a firmware update its been acting bizarre. I read somewhere that if I reset after an update the update remains and that its actually important to reset to factory settings after an update. So if I reset my Wireless Router, do i have to do a separate reset for my Range Extender too? Or will one stone kill two birds?
It’s as I posted above, if you factory reset the router the extender is not affected if you re-enter the wireless settings for the router setup. You don't have to reset the extender also.
