Hi guys.
Just a quick question. I currently have my EZ-B v4 connected via client mode and wish to keep it this way. I have just ordered a WiFi extender and have never used one before. So I was wondering, do I need to do anything special with the EZ-B to connect it to my network with the extender? The extender is a Netgear N300 and will connect to my router via WPS mode.
Thanks.
Steve.

So it's going to be up to the individual manufacturers equipment Steve. I'm not entirely sure how the EZ-B handles the switching from one device to the other when you're network strength starts to fall due to the distance of the robot to router or extender.

Since you just ordered it, can you cancel your order? I would recommend one that doesn't require you to explicitly tell clients to connect to it, like the TP-Link TL-WA850RE.

Obviously changing firmware from the factory default or approved manufacturers firmware will invalidate the warranty though.
Page 11 of the manual shows you can name the SSID yourself.
It doesn't need the ext, but I am pretty sure it needs to be unique from the WiFi network it is extebding.
The manual for my extender was very clear about whether it was sharing the same Ssid or creating a new one, this manual is less clear, but since it talks about connecting to the extended network explicitly, I am pretty sure they need to be unique.
