Replace my 2nd Router Extension EX7000
Hello.... Ok... in the past, I've had TWO Router Extensions. One on my TV (AX80) which 'bounces' off of my T-Mobile Modem, and one in my Garage (EX7000) that 'bounced' off of my AX80. I've recently ...
Hello, and Thank You for your reply!
Yes, I do realize that Daisy Chaining is not the best Idea, but it did work for a while!
Well... the LED's (2.5 and 5) are Amber for a while, after I do a Reset, but then go out. So that tells me, I think, that it has gone out, and possibly get a New One.
I have been using the EX7000, which is in my Garage to provide WiFi for my Two Outside Cameras, and have recently bought a Garage Door Opener with a Camera, but have not installed it yet.
I may just use the AX80, which is by be TV to do ALL of it, but didn't want to Bog it down.
IF I do this, I'd be using it for ALL my outside Cams, Garage Door Opener/Cam, Doorbell Cam, Smart TV, Tivo and Roku.
Most of which use the 2.5 and just don't think it would be enough, but may fool me.
I am OPEN for ANY Suggestions.
Thanks for your Help,

the 2.4/5ghz lights go out if nothing is connected.
It makes me wonder if its not just needing to be installed again. Factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.
To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
Here's a video of how to use the assistant.

Hello Again,
Well... I have done the Reset, and it's not really showing up, but... I will try it again!
Also.... even though my AX80 seems to be working....
Is there anything Better?
Thanks for your help,

when you say "its not showing up.....not really" what do you mean?
What are you actually seeing? I'm not able to see what you are so the better you describe what is actually happening, the better i can help
Hello Again... Well, I can't remember what I was going to say, as I'm concentrating on the AX80 and not the 7000 right now. đČ
Anyways... got another Question/Situation:
My AX80 seems to be working, with My Smart TV and TiVo Box, but... when I select it on my iPhone, it's showing 5G and Not WiFi. Don't think this is Normal is it?
And, please answer: Is there a 'better' Router Extender than my AX80?Thanks for your help,
I used to know all this stuff, but Technology has changed and it's hard for me to figure things out!
