Hi. I have an Orbi mesh network and some IP cameras that just connect randomly to any available node... even if it's the weakest signal.
I want to add an extender as a distinct, separate network so that I can connect the cameras to this network exclusively. I get that this extender may still wander nodes but rebooting that is easier than rebooting hard wired cameras.
So, my question is, can I set the EX7700 up as a separate network or does it have to act as an extension of the Orbi mesh network?
you can set it up as a seperate network. Either by running it in hardwired ap mode or by running it in extender mode without using the mesh setup.
Are there any instructions or a guide as to how to do this? I stupidly assumed it would be pretty obvious but I'm at a loss right now.
I downloaded the Nighthawk iphone app to set it up. The main router is a Netgear ORBI.
The app guides me through set-up but I cant see any way of extending the wireless network with a seperate network name. It's just replicated the existing network name.
