RAX120 Mesh Recommendation
What is a good solution to extend the range of an RAX120? No matter where I move it to I end up with some areas of my home with a very weak WIFI signal.

If you're only looking for a single extender, I'd look at the triband line of mesh extenders.
Reason why is standard extenders drop throughput (speed) 50%. They do this because they have to send and recieve using the same chip and they can't do both at once. the tri-bands have a 2nd 5ghz chip just for router---extender communication. so they perform much better.
and the reason I'd say if you only need a single extender is because if you're needing more than 1, its better to move to a full mesh system like netgear Orbi versus using extenders. With the full system, there's a router controlling it and it tends to be more stable when using multiple satellites.
