Netgear extensionfor RBR40

Have Router RBR40 and satellite RBW30 on the first floor, because the house is naroow and long.  What can I add to strengten the signal in the basement?

  • You can add another satellites. 

    Compatible models are: 

    RBS20

    RBW30

    RBS40

    RBS40V

    RBS50

    RBS50Y

     

    Keep in mind, the 50 series have a wider backhaul but will connect at the lower 866mbps backhaul the 40 series use.

    More satellites that work with the RBR40?

     

    While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
