Orbi RBR50 + satellite
I have an Orbi RBR50 & satellite wifi network setup at home. Working OKish but dead spot in gamer son's bedroom. Bought a Nighthawk X4S Range Extender to try and boost the signal there. Can start up ...
That makes it a repeater by my reckoning, a subset of the extender range. Most extenders can repeat and do genuine access point.
Why does Netgear insist on confusing people with its inconsistent nomenclature?
Might not be the best choice in these circumstances, given that the user already has Powerline.

Thanks to both of you for your valuable advice. I'm abandoning the X4S as a non-workable idea and will stick with the Powerline for the time being. I'm sure technology will catch up with this problem in the very near future!
PL should work for your needs.
At some point you might have your son get up in the attic and run you a CAT6 LAN cable from the router location to some place at the remote location. :smileyvery-happy:
Good Luck.
