Hello, Hopefully someone can help give me advice. I am going to install 2 x EX7300 in cottages for a client. They have a line of sight attena's to send the signal from the house to the two cottages. The line of sight antennas have modems either side. Currently they have old devolo extenders and they are not placed in the best location. My plan is replace the extender currently connected to the antenna modem with an EX7300 in access point mode. I am planning on using the other EX7300 in extender mode but I want it to piggy back of the first EX7300, I just wanted to check that this is possible? Cheers Barry

Hi Coullio1971, Welcome to the community! Yes, you can daisy chain the EX7300 from another EX7300. Regards, Dexter Community Team

DexterJB. I have not tried this combination yet (daisy chain 2 EX7300 extenders) but I have question to ask you DexterJB, if I can set up using the same SSID wireless broadcast name for both devices? Best Terry

Hi Coullio1971, Yes, you can since the EX7300 is a mesh extender. You may find more info on the links below. https://kb.netgear.com/000046083/ https://kb.netgear.com/000045266/ https://kb.netgear.com/000045269/ Regards, Dexter Community Team

This is a strange one. I tried to set up one of the devices as an AP but kept getting no Internet. I then updated the firmware and completely lost it. I will explain what I am trying to achieve. The customer has 2 cottages away from his house. He is using antennas to send the signal from the house to the cottages and has modems at both ends (this is for the antenna). My plan was set up one of the EX7300 as an AP then use the other as an extender in the other cottage. Would I better getting a stand alone router in the cottage and put that into AP mode then use an extender in the other cottage? So basically he has BT Home Hub > House Antenna Modem > Cottage Antenna Modem > Devolo Plug Extender, I wanted to replace the Devolo with the EX7300 but had issues getting the internet to stay up. Any advice would be great.

So it is taking ethernet from the cottage antenna modem and putting it onto the powerline. Where's the other end of the powerline network?
