Clash between two Nighthawk EX7700s on same network
I have just tried to add 2 EX7700s to my WiFi network. One seems fine but adding the second one seems to clash and walking around from one signal to another is certainly not seamless. The nighthawk app also shows only one extender connected at a time and you have to switch extenders to get the details. Am I missing something, or messed up the installation?

Re: Clash between two Nighthawk EX7700s on same network
A couple things you can try.
1. make sure they're setup like a star pattern and not daisy chain.
star: extender<--------router------->extender
daisy: router----->extender----->extender
You should have them on opposites sides of the router to prevent them from connecting to each other
2. they can be to close together. If the house isn't big enough to need 2 extenders, it can create just as much issues as they end up connecting to each other and not back to the router
3. did you setup using wps? Or using the installation assistant?
I usually recommend to people who're needing more othan 1 extender to move to an actual mesh system with a router that controls it. The extender based systems aren't as effective if you're needing more than 1.
What size is your home?
what are the interior walls made of?
Do you have issues if only 1 is running?

Which orange router is it?
The extenders are reliant on the router and if its sketchy/poorly coded, its going to cause everything to suffer.
