Q: Question(1) Can multiple RE655BE devices [used as extenders] coexist on one NW? (2) If so, can they share the NWID_EXT name, or must the name be overridden? If name change is required, how do I do that?

Asked 8 months ago by EJChandler.

• A:Answer Hello EJ Unless you are using the Extenders as EasyMesh node you do not want to daisy chain them or have them use the same SSID. If you are using them as EasyMesh nodes then you can daisy chain up to two but they will all automatically share the same SSID as the main node.

Q: QuestionWhere would be an Ideal location in a 2 story home approximately 3400 sf to place this extender?

Asked 10 months ago by JayY.

• A:Answer Hi JayY, The optimal placement of the extender depends on several key factors, including, but not limited to, the floor plan and construction of your home and other factors such as your router's location and how far its signal currently reaches. Additionally, the extender should be placed where the router's signal is sufficiently stable yet far enough from it to provide additional coverage in the Wi-Fi dead zones within your home.
