netgear EX7700 - how to disable the Mesh function (same network name of router)
dear all, I have some problems with the Mesh function of my EX7700; it works perfectly with different devices but it seems that is causing problems to mi WiFi Security Cameras.
Is there a procedure in order to disable the Mesh function and create a different network name (... -EXT) for the extender?
thank you
regards
Lorenzo

Follow this guide.
Before I'd disable the mesh, I'd actually go into your extender and rerun setup. During setup uncheck the "extend 2.4ghz" network option. Reason why is it uses the 2.4ghz as failover and can create issues. You'll still be able to use 2.4ghz on the extender, it just doesn't use it as failover. You might find that works to let you keep using it as mesh and improve stability.

Just a question... can I re-run setup using Nighthawk APP via smartphone, and how?
Otherwise, please can you kindly direct me towards the right procedure?
thank you again

I would just factory reset it and rerun it with the installation assistant. Its during setup with the assistant that you uncheck the box.
here's a video of using the assistant.
