Nighthawk X4

I saw on an internet posting that Multiple Nighthawk X4 could be used in one WiFi as long as they were not daisy chained(?).

So I bought a second X4 to cover my area better, BUT I CAN ONLY CONNECT to ONE AT A TIME.

Is there a way to extend in two directions with two X4's?

Re: Nighthawk X4

are you saying you are only able to connect 1 extender at a time to the router or are you saying you can only connect devices to 1 extender?

Darren,

I CAN connect multiple devices (computers, smartphones) to the wifi.

I CAN NOT connect the two Nighthawks sucessfully. Either one will connect individually, but when the second one is plugged in (turned on) it finds the network, but on this second Nighthawk, the "Client Link LED" does not illuminate.

Re: Nighthawk X4

Do you have the extenders setup with different SSID names?
