Nighthawk M2 Mesh Wifi setup

Hi,

 

I would like to create a Mesh Wifi with my Netgear Nighthawk M2 router.

 

Which Netgear extenders do you recommend?

 

Thanks and best regards.

    I don't. 

    I'd recommend just picking up a mesh system like the MK or Orbi system and connecting it to the M2 hotspot.

    The hotspots are designed for short distance wifi (hotspot). For that reason, if you're looking for whole home coverage, I'd use a full router/mesh system and just put the M2 in passthrough mode. Or leave it in router mode and the router/mesh system in access point mode (not the method I'd use)
