Range Extender recommendations for MR1100
Wondering in anyone in community has range extender / mesh network recommendations for use with the Nighthawk MR1100 to broaden it's coverage area? Good results? What to avoid? Netgear tech support s...
nhantenna: thanks for suggesting a possible cause of the problem I'm having when moving from one access point to another and for introducing mesh networks.
I should have been more explicit in my explanation. I do indeed attempt to connect manually to the second access point by specifically selecting its SSID. At that point I can no longer see the SSID of the first AP because I'm well out of range, and I'm only a couple of feet away from the AP I'm connecting to. More often than not, I get the message "Obtaining IP address" without any subsequent internet connection via the MR1100. That's why I'm thinking that the problem lies between the MR1100, the unmanaged ethernet switch and the access point, with the most likely cause being the MR1100.
Do you have any other thoughts on this?
