TP-link ac1750 seems to have the same network name as router
I could not set this up via the Tether app or web browser. I see 2 of the extender's network name "TP-Link_Extender_2.4GHz" and "TP-Link_Extender_5GHz" but my phone and laptop failed to connect to the internet.
So i tried the WPS and it seemed to work because all LEDs lit up. However, both the extender's network names disappeared from my phone and laptop's Wi-Fi list. I didn't know if i was connected or not. Google said that my extender probably shares the same network name as my router. Confusing because the salesman said it should be a different network name. Google also said that using the same network name might cause my extender's connection to slow down. Any tips?
