When extending the main home Wi-Fi network with a RE700X range extender, if the _EXT suffix is ​​added to the extended networks as the system suggests by default, the devices that already know the main network automatically recognize and also connect to the extended networks or do we need to save these new networks? Or should the same main network name also be duplicated in extended networks? What is better?

That's your choice. You can name the RE SSID the same or different.

If you choose "_EXT" the benefit is that you'll know at any moment to which node your device is  connected.

Once you enter the wireless password for the "_EXT" SSID, this password will be saved and used automatically.

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".
