QOS Work with Extenders
Hi Everyone, Im Wondering if QOS works with/through extenders. I have the xr500 router downstairs and my bedroom with my gaming setup is upstairs and i connect my PC and PS4 to the Ex7700 extender...
- Yes that is right. An access point does not hand out IPs to devices so the device gets the IP direct from the router, hence it will then be configurable on the router. No need to apologize, totally understand!
If you're seeing the devices as connected on the Device Manager then it will absolutely apply to them and no need to give bandwidth to the extender itself. You can add another extender if needed and will work the same way.
- Thank you so much!
Would it be the same thing with using any other extenders as well? Like the Orbi? Or using Access Points around the house that aren't made by Netgear.
Would QOS be applied through those Access Points as well? And if I limited bandwidth to a device that is connected that specific access point that isn't made by netgear, would QOS be applied? And would it be applied if the Access point was a netgear product like orbi even though I have the EX7700?
Sorry for this really long question, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to get connection through my old brick home with multiple heavy users of bandwidth.- Even with a different product from another company it should all work the exact same way and allow you to apply QoS to individual devices.
- Even a device which is connected with an ethernet cable connected at the back of another company's access point? QOS will be applied to the device that is connected with an ethernet cable and not the actual access point if I decide to only use QOS for the device and not the access point?
Sorry for being really thorough, I just want to make sure I don't over spend and make a mistake.
