I have recently purchased Surfboard G36 and found that I needed to cover more sq feet. So I ordered the twin mesh W130. My question is, can I add the two mesh W130s to the G36 and use them as extenders? If so, I’m having a difficult time getting them set up. As I navigate the app I keep getting error messages hooking into the internet.

In this case we would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned on the below article so that you can easily connect both router and satellite to the G36 unit. Uninstall the surfboard application then Perform hard reset on the modem (G36) for 30secs wait for the modem to reboot and then login to the modem GUI after connecting any device to your modem Wi-Fi network then enable bridge mode. After enabling bridge mode download the surfboard central app then you can connect main router to the G36 LAN to W130 ( called as W30/W31) WAN port then setup the main router after completing setup with main router you can setup the satellite.
