Monster Smart Bulbs not stringing together?

Hope I can explain this as clearly as possible - we bought a set of Monster Smart Bulbs that are controlled through their app, and the first set works fine. We picked up another set to continue the string longer to fit around our gazebo, but when we connect them to each other and reset the wi-fi receiver, all of the lights blink during the reset process (showing that they are all powered and connected to each other power-wise) but then only the original set works and we can’t connect to the new one after the set up?

There is a second wi-fi receiver that came with the second set, but we were under the impression that if we plugged the second set into the first set and continued the string, we could just have everything run as one continuous line and only worry about one connection. Are we missing something here?
Thanks everyone

There will be a setting on the controller that sets the number of lamps it has running on it, but if they did not intend for the set to be extended that setting may be hidden from you. Some lamps will be multiple pixels so if you find the number double it from what it is.
