Connecting an EX7300 Extender to a Nighthawk AX8 RAX80 Router
I have an EX7300 Range Extender and a Nighthawk AX8 AX6000 WiFi 6 Router (RAX80). I need expanded coverage for the dead spots in my house and ethernet access points are not a good option for me. I followed the Netgear Genie instructions for setting up the EX7300 and was able to connect and set up the EXT separate networks. However, I don't want to have separate networks - I want one SSID. As I understand, my router and this extender are capable of enabling the One WiFi Name feature but during setup, it never gave me the option (or somehow I missed it). Am I wrong about this capability or did I miss a step somewhere? Do either one of my devices (RAX80 and EX7300) not have One WiFi Name support? I cannot confirm this with documentation or information from Netgear so I am asking here. Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much, plemans. As you suggested, the problem was the firmware of the EX7300 extender. New version is 1.0.2.144. Once I updated that, I could see the One WiFi Name feature and now all is working as I wanted it to. Double Kudos to you!
