Extender reconnects to original SSID in network list
When I set up the extender it created a network name with an _EXT extension of my router ssid (ie Mustang1 became Mustang1_EXT) on the extender. My devices show all networks available as usual on any laptop. I have a laptop and firestick and set both up to the _EXT network and connected to it. My devices are defaulting back and reconnecting to the original Mustang1 network on the list instead of maintaining connection to the _EXT network after a period of inactivity.
Model: EX2700|N300 WiFi Range Extender

Re: Extender reconnects to original SSID in network list
Have you tried to remove the main network from the firestick and also make the EXT network the priority network for the laptop?
