My question is if I bought another wifi extender the same one EX can i use both of them at the same time or will having the same network extension make it conflict? Thank you in advance. Solved: Yes you can use 2 extenders at the same time, with some caveats - read on for more details. Go to Solution. View solution in original post. The extender, by default, broadcasts a different SSID from the main router, so you should not have to do anything.
It's possible it will broadcast the same SSID as the other extender, but that's ok. No need to switch SSIDs network name as you roam around the house. If you want to use 2 WiFi Extenders at the same time. Check it out. I also have 2 net gear extenders that worked fine for a couple days or so, then i got bumped off had to keep re entering the password until the router stoped popping up at all i got rid of the second one and the internet works at close range my extender is connecting but internet is blocked , can i solve this problem by wiring just one extender and connecting the second to the wireless router?
At first it had the same wifi id but i changed it still no connection even after multiple resets. Is it possible to connect a second EX to the first EX thru RJ45 instead of a direct connection to the main router? I installed the AC and it works great. I need to add another extender at the other end of the house and purchased the AC arriving tomorrow. So, there are 5 networks to choose from. Will I have to configure anything special in order to use both extenders? Will the network names be duplicated automatically or will I be able to distinguish between the AC and AC networks?
Yes you can and you will want each extender to connect directly to the routers wifi network also you may need to rename the SSID on the new extender in setup to cause less issues. Just confirming that I was able to successfully setup two wifi extenders using the same username and password. The modem is on the second floor. I configured the first unit while the other was unplugged. I then unplugged it. I plugged in both externders to their respective locations at opposite ends of the house on the first floor.
I can easily distinguish all networks. While this is technically feasible, each extender cuts Wi-Fi speeds in half. That's a pretty heavy penalty. As mentioned above, this is possible but not without slowing the speed.
Using a consumer grade range extender, which broadcasts a signal omnidirectionally, is not the right tool for getting Wi-Fi to your kid's place. View all WiFi repeaters. Better solutions.

Where do you place a WiFi repeater? All you have to do is place the repeater in a location that can receive your existing WiFi network, and then attach the power supply. You can then log into the WiFi repeater via your computer, and input the login details and password of your existing WiFi network, to allow the WiFi repeater to connect and extend. Got a tricky situation like a pool house in your garden? No problem! There are weatherproof WiFi repeaters like the Hawking Outdoor Smart WiFi Repeater that can be placed outside, boosting signal throughout your property.
This kit is very flexible and can be moved easily. For example, if you are RVing and the campsite has weak WiFi signal, this repeater can be fixed to the roof of your RV to boost the signal inside. Only if you go entirely out of range of the first network. A WiFi repeater creates a second network. If your first network is not available, your device will connect to the second.
But in some parts of your house, your device will be able to detect both networks at the same time. This means that if you wish to change from the original network to the boosted network you will have to disconnect and then reconnect. All WiFi repeaters have some speed loss, but some are much worse than others. WiFi repeaters work by receiving wireless signal and rebroadcasting it, but single band repeaters have to receive, then retransmit each packet of data using the same radio on the same channel.
Dual band repeaters get around this by connecting to the router on one band and outputting a WiFi signal on the other. One final feature that helps reduce speed loss is dual radios. Wireless Range Extenders Wireless range extenders are stand-alone equipment which sit between your wireless router and the location where you want better wireless coverage. Similar to a wireless repeater, a wireless range extender grabs existing WiFi signal from your wireless router and re-broadcasts it.
Range extenders rebroadcast on a different wireless channel from the one used by your wireless router. The challenge with range-extenders is location. Incorrect placement means a range extender may not obtain sufficient WiFi signal from your router to simultaneously rebroadcast, stream and engage in online gaming or watching a video. To solve this challenge you can hardwire a wired range extender to your router, improving the speed of your entire network.
Getting reliable and fast WiFi around the entire house can be a challenge. WiFi has become as indispensable as electricity in many homes, yet WiFi performance can be temperamental. Given all the devices, metal appliances, and architectural features that can cause interference in the typical house, even the most powerful WiFi router can miss some spots. Here are five common scenarios where a WiFi booster can help improve your wireless experience:.
Are there places in your home where surfing speeds slow down to a crawl? Sometimes a simple change in your home network can crank up the speed and make a huge improvement on your surfing, streaming, and gaming experience.
