Yes, the extender will take the name of your existing network, and add ext. You would connect to the ext network if you are physically near that device and vice versa for your router.

 

If you want to further manage the extender, I would recommend download our Tether app and managing it that way.

Thanks -- so you see only the one with EXT, or should I be seeing separate for 2.4 and 5?

It depends.

 

So if your main router was dual-band, and had both names the same, then you see one ext. If your main router has two different names then you will see two of them.

 

Given how you see one ext I am assuming your router has the same name for both.

 

You can still configure the extender to have different names if you want. The wireless network names the extender broadcasts can always be changed, just not the password as it uses the same password from the host router.
