Doubtful. A wifi extender network appears to be the same network (same SSID), but it is technically not. I had problems with trying to use two different wireless networks, even though they were the same layer 3 subnet. Just didn't work. I had to put all the devices on the same wireless network to get it to work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It does not matter that they are on different Wi-Fi. Both devices work independent of each other. You then sign into your independent pay services like Netflix using username/password.
