In talking about getting the new Fios range extender the tech support agent told me it would use the same ssid as my existing router. In this way I could walk to different areas of my house and keep a strong connection by automatically switching to the better signal. It's installed, but created a separate ssid, or more specifically used the one from my existing network and added -5g to the name to create its own. So this means if I take my laptop and connect it to the regular network, I have to manually switch it to the extender as I move around my house. I can go and stand next to the extender where I should get a strong signal and it will stay connected to a weak signal from my router that's many rooms away. Any way to change this configuration?
