Wifi AC750 Range extender BLINK security cameras

Hello Everyone,

 

     I currently run 3 Blink security cameras at my home.  I noticed that the range on the outside garage camera is terrible and bought a Netgear AC750 wifi range extender in hopes of fixing this problem.  Here's the issue 

 

The three camera's must be on the same wifi connection.  The inside wifi range in my home is perfectly fine and is connected to JASON WIFI

 

     When I connect the extender in the garage... I can't add it to JASON WIFI EXT  is there a way to trick the extender into being named the exact same, making the system think it's picking up the same wifi?  

 

Also... I tried to hook the security system up to JASON WIFI EXT with intentions of putting all 3 cameras on the extender name.  For some reason Blink cameras find's the wifi name EXT but will not register it.  Each time when trying to connect it gives me a red light ( which means a bad connection is made) 

 

Thank you in advance

    Hi greens4245, 

     

    Just to confirm, your router's network name (SSID) is JASON WIFI EXT, correct? You can change the the network name (SSID) of the extender by logging into the extender's admin page.
