Extending a wireless network based on Nighthawk AX12 12-Stream Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 to other buildings
How do I extend a wireless network based on Nighthawk AX12 12-Stream Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 to other buildings where a wifi signal is not available. I have CAT6 cables to the buildings from the base station. What device would be best to provide a cabled extension to the network and how ould I set it up?
Thank you - you are right. Many thanks for sharing your view.

Hi Patrick
have a look here at NETGEAR's extender range.

I have 2 of the ex8000 extenders (X6S) and they work fine on my RAX120 and they also now do Wi-fi 6 extenders but I don't know much about them to be honest as well as the rest of the range. All I can say is I'm happy with my extenders and they work well.
Thank you for your help on this. Are your extenders connected to the router with network cable as a normal WiFi repeater will not work in my situation as no WiFi signal penetrates the second building (but I do have cable)!
Mine are through a wireless connection but they also offer AP mode too so can be wired.
i guess it depends on what you want as extenders differ in spec and price so it's best to check AP is possible and what you require.
if I were to wire mine I would gain an extra 5ghz channel not that I require that as it's triband.
