I now have two networks and must switch continuously
I installed the N300 / EX2700 wifi range extender. The installation created a new wifi network. All my stuff connects to the new network, but this seems only to apply to the extender itself. I mean: when I'm near the original router, and far from the extender, the connection with the extender network is (obviously) bad, and I have to switch back to the original network. This constant switching is extremely impractical. Can I somehow integrate the router into the new network?

Re: I now have two networks and must switch continuously
- You can try changing the extender to broadcast the same SSID as the main router. This may encourage some devices to switch connections more readily. Note: Some extenders may not be able to broadcast the same SSID.
- The extender may be too close to the router, so try moving it farther away. This will reduce the overlap of the two Wi-Fi signals and may encourage devices to switch when they are near the router.
