Editing Existing Network on EX7000
I am using this network extender on a boat. Very often at a marina, we can get (marginal) wifi from the marina we are moored at in the cockpit, but not in other parts of the boat -- hence the use of the extender.
So I would like to manually edit the router -> extender "Existing Network" settings while keeping the 2.5GHz and 5 GHz wifi settings from extender -> device constant.
Is this possible? Or do I have to go through the entire (router -> extender; extender -> device wifi) configuration each time?
thanks.

Hello OldMaple
Are you saying when you go to other marinas you are having to reconfigure each time?

Re: Editing Existing Network on EX7000
Say the SSID at Marina #1 is MARINA1 and the SSID at Marina #2 is MARINA2 the local SSID from the extender is BOATNAME25 and BOATNAME5.
When I am at Marina #1, the "router" is configered to MARINA1. When we visit another marina, say, Marina #2, I would like to change the configeration so that the "router" is MARINA2, yet the local SSIDs remain as BOATNAME25 and BOATNAME5.
It appears that to change the router from MARINA1 to MARINA2, I have to completely reconfigure everyingthing, including re-entering
BOATNAME25 and BOATNAME5 and associated passwords. Is there a way around this?

Hello OldMaple
Unfortunately no because they are designed to stay connected to 1 router.
