I want to improve gaming experiece to a upstairs bedroom, modem & router are downstairs. I would also like to improve overall wifi coverage/strength throughout the home.
Considering the Nighthawk pro gaming router and/or an extender.
*Will the router work with my setup?
*How do I connect each device to LAN line? Internet service to modem to Apple router/storage to Netgear router?
* Will that improve the signal upstairs gaming room or do I need an extender there as well?
Again, sorry for the dumb questions. I can seem to find a phone number or chat on the netgear website.
Thank you! Shawn

Yes it will.

If you want to continue using the apple router then yes.

Impossible to say without knowing how big the house is, even the materials the walls are made with will impact this.
