Using multiple AC750 range extenders in the same house, but to the router- not to each other

Using multiple AC750 range extenders in the same house, but to the router- not to each other

I will set these up using Genie smart setup, not WPS.

 

Lets say my routes SSID is John1

 

I noticed during the setup the entender will use router SSID then add suffix, example John1_2GEXT for 2.4 GHz  and  John1_5GEXT for the 5 GHz.

 

If I have two of these that I want to extend on same router,  in different areas, should I change the name to like WestArea_2GEXT and NorthArea_5GEXT?

 

Or should I just leave both extenders with the same default names assigned as they connect to router in setup? 

 

My first thought is leave the names alone, then I say no, they should be unique?

Hello Diverjer

 

You want separate names as they create there own network this will cause less issues.
