can one ( 1 ) 6150 extender be set up to store two ( 2 ) wireless sources

need to know if the unit can be setup to access and store two ( 2 ) different wireless sources with EXT's for each to be accessed at different times or perhaps even simultaneously?  would be totally acceptable if it was one at a time... thanks community! ( new user of this item )

What's your use case?  Are you moving the extender from one place to another to use with different Wi-Fi networks?

 

The extender cannot support that.  You would need to reconfigure it each time you want to connect it with a different Wi-Fi network.  You can use WPS to make the task easier.

thank you for the reply... that is helpful... if I have to access and extend two ( 2 ) different networks can I add a second model 6150 extender? can two operate in the same environment without interfering with each other?  they would be 20 to 25 feet apart...thank you for your help..

A second extender can be added.  Set non-overlapping channels on each extender to avoid interference.  In the 2.4 GHz range, use channels 1, 6 or 11.
