If I understand your question correctly, it will do both. You can set it up to clone your router's SSID for seamless transitions and range extension, or you can set it up as a totally separate access point (with its own SSID and network name). Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi, Break9! During the initial setup, the RE7000 will connect to your existing wireless networks. However, you can configure the unit manually and change the extended network name to your preference.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Both. At first it comes up as ( xxx-ext) where the x's are your ssid name. After you set it up you can go into the extender's menu and ( mesh ) the ssid's together. This is what enables the seamless roaming.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will mesh with the router you have.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Meshes with your host wifi router, but uses the host name followed by _Ext. This can be changed if desired.
