It is a tri band router. You will have the same 2.4 and 5 GHz signal from all satellites. No ext. names. The third 5ghz signal is for all the satellites to talk to each other without disruption. If you have Ethernet run through the house, you can even hard wire each satellite to the main hubs for even better service.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The satellites use the same SSID as the main router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Separate names not required. Connected devices can be moved around in overage area without changing access point.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The satellites use the exact same SSID as the main unit which makes the fact that you have multiple units throughout transparent.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All the same network name
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, the entire network shows up with the same name. It is seamless as to which satellite you are connected to as you move about the house.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.router transmits one (named) signal. satellites and router go by same name. depending on where you are at within the mesh system determines what satellite or router you will connect to. the app tells you what device is connected to what satellite or main router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They extend the same signal. There are no separate network names for the satellites.
