Two EX2700 Same Router - Firmware Upgrade - SSID - Arrrghh!
OK So it's fair to say I'm having a bit of a nightmare...
I have two EX2700 which I want to set up with the same router. Now I have set one up via WPS then set up an account via http://www.mywifiext.com - I then upgraded the firmware.
Now how do I go about setting up a second EX2700 on the same network from the same router? I set the second one up initially via WPS - but when I go to http://www.mywifiext.com it just takes me to the new set up page and I am unable to access the login page. When I do it redirects me again to the set up page again. So I take it I have to set up a separate account for the second EX2700 on the same network using a different email address?
Also when they are both set up is it the case that you can only connect to one extender at a time? If so would it be best to individually name each extender and manually connect to whichever one I am closest to? For example 'EXT-Front' for the front of the house & EXT-Back' for the back of the house?
Tearing my hair out trying to figure all of this out - and there's nothing in the manual that assists that I can see.
Thanks!

OK - So to top this off I tried today to log into http://www.mywifiext.net and I can now only log into one account and the other is no longer recognised - GGggggrrrrrrrr!!!
Can someone from Netgear PLEASE explain in detail how to set up two EX2700 with the same router - whether they should be named differently - how to set them BOTH up on http://www.mywifiext.net.
Also I see now there is http://www.mywifiext.net and http://www.mywifiext.com - which should you use to set up the extenders??
This is driving me absolutely NUTS!!

Hello machineage
You should have seperate SSID for each extender and after you set up one unplug it and then setup the other one then plug them both in.
