Nighthawk C7000v2 Mesh / Extending
I have a Nighthawk C7000v2. I would like to extend the range but not sure how. It's just "OK" in parts of my house, but get out to my garage (100+ feet away) and sketchy. I am going to parking an RV by my garage and want to extend good WiFi out there.
Yes. Can hook up just about any thing. EX or EAX series extenders have wired AP modes that have the LAN port in back. A R or RAX series router can work in AP mode as well.
Wireless Access Point= Any device that broadcasts a wifi signal.

That kind of distance, you might be best to put in a CAT6A STP lan cable out the garage and then put in a wireless AP unit that's connected to the lan cable for best use and operation.
- So are you saying run a cable from my current nighthawk modem out to my garage and then hook another unit up to that out there? Whats a wireless AP? Thank you
