RAXE500 to EAX 15 Extender using same address as the router, possible?
I’d like to push WIFI to an upstairs room. Will this device: EAX 15 Can this device connect to the RAX500 so that the extender will use the same addresses as the router? I see a reference to this ...
Yes, the extender will use same SSID name and password as the RAXE has. I believe you can tell the extender to broadcast same SSID name as RAXE or broadcast the SSID with EXT in the name. Up to you.
I also see where I goofed in my nomenclature when I asked my first question. My question related to SSID and NOT to “addresses” like I originally posted. My bad.
Got cha.
Ya same SSID will be used by the extender. It's just repeating same SSID name from itself in the remote location where the extender is placed.
