Multiple WN3000RPv3 Extenders with the same SSID

Hello, I have a linksys wireless router and just get 2 WN3000RPv3 extenders one for the upstairs one for the downstairs. When I use different SSID's everything works fine. When I setup 1 of the extenders with the same SSID as the Router everything works fine. When I setup the second extender with the same SSID everythign stops working. I cannot even get to the web management page. I am thinking that the two extenders are trying to connect to each other thus no primary network access. Has anyone setup more than one of these? How did you do it?

 

Thanks in advance...

Hi Kilimanj99,

 

Can you confirm which router is connected to your extenders?

Please try setting a static address to each of your extenders.
