Using A Wifi Extender

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.

Thanks Rich. I won't be playing around with customising firmware in case I need to send it back to Virgin for repair or replacement. should the superhub starts doing bad things.

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.
