Extenders EX7500

Question

Good MorningIf not possible tto connect each extender to the router is right to connect the second extender to the first one. I bought them after watching that feature on your Mesh extenders webpage.I would like to connect first extender to the AC1750 Netgear router and the second extender to the first one.Are there tools to test the link performance between rootuer and the second extender(or a client like a notebook)?

Daisy chaining the mesh extender using the "onessid" function can end up causing issues. I always recommend if people are needing more than 1 extender to move to a full mesh setup like orbi.

Reason why is that there isn't a router controlling the connection so the extenders can end up connecting to each other and not to the router.

The way around that is to disable "onessid" fuction on one of the extenders so they don't connect to each other and loop.

So basically Netgear shouldn't label those devices as "Mesh" if canno't do what 802.11s describes :/Don't you agree?&nbsp;

No I don't agree.Its a "mesh extender" not a fully mesh system.&nbsp;and extenders aren't recommended past 1 extender regardless of if you run mesh or standard

So it should be able to do what 802.11s describe https://www.academia.edu/21587927/IEEE_802.11s_The_WLAN_Mesh_StandardLet me remember you that your advertising page is showing a daisy chain for yor EX extendershttps://www.netgear.it/landings/mesh-wifi-extenders/Your product shouldn't labeled&nbsp; "mesh"Mesh networks (BT/wifi/proprietary) work differently.Best regards

1. this isn't netgear. this is the public community forum. In no way shape or form am I netgear so saying "your advertising" or "your product" doesn't mean a thing to me. And we're not paid to do this.&nbsp;2. I'm not going to argue with you. I've explained how to make it function better. you can use it in one big mesh but if the router signal isn't stable, you'll probably have issues. Maybe there is improvements in running multiple extenders in the pipeline. Again, not netgear here.&nbsp;&nbsp;Good luck .&nbsp;
