Changing network for Optik box

Our PVR is wired to the 3200 in the basement.
We have the Wifi extenders upstairs and I'm able to connect to them in my shop out front with my cameras.  When I tried wifi Optik STB in the shop (about 100ft from the house) it could not connect.  This STB was working fine downstairs in the basement before, so I'm assuming down there it was connecting to my 3200  network.

Is there a way to set it up so the STB will connect to the wifi extenders?  I tried looking in the settings on another wifi STB we have but didn't see a way to do it.  (I'm guessing it's in the locked installers menu?)

    As far as I remember, you need to connect Optik to the T3200, not the boost units. You could try power line ethernet adapters if you can’t run an ethernet cable.
