TWO EXTENDERS RUNNING OFF ONE ROUTER

I bought two extenders to go in two different spots in our house.  They will be connected to the same router.  If they both come up as the same name, how do I differentiate them so I can attatch upstairs to one extender and basement to another with different names for the extenders?

You would have to give them name in the host router. Turn one EX on first then find it in the routers connecte clients. Setup a IP address reservation and give it a name. Then turn on the 2nd EX and do the same thing.
