Can I name the bands on this extender the exact same as my nighthawk router so that my devices will automatically transfer from one to the other without having to reselect as I move around the house? null

The extender adds the suffix _ext to the existing router bands, so I don't think you can rename to get seamless switching.

Yes you can. I did this, however, I didn't like the result as I lost visibility as to what device I was connected to. So I am going to reset it and give it a different name. Your device should switch either way as long as the profile is setup to connect automatically.

Yes. I used my account name plus the words EXT as my main Network name and I don't have to change any device. Just set it up in your network set up area, and your network connection will automatically select it for your internet connection.

Yes. It works quite well that way.

I believe you can. the extender signal name is the same as your network name with suffix 'EXT' after it.
