Problems running 2 wifi extenders

Hi, I allready had on eo fthese extenders for internal to the house, but got another to give me wifi in the office/garage. I assmued it would plug and play. Nope! It looks like the 2nd unit has connected to the main (Virgin Media) router, and I can connect my laptop to it, but no internet access. The default set up has called the network xxxxxxx_ext the same as the other wifi extender already installed and working in the house. Could that cause conflict? Any other ideas as to why its not working? Thanks!

Hello Flashblade68

 

Yes this could cause a conflict I would suggest renaming the second extender to the area you use it in.
