Recommendations for hardwired access point to extend RAX200
I have a Nighthawk RAX200 and like it, but in my tall house, there are a still couple of almost-dead spots on the top floor. I have a wired connection from my router (on the ground floor) up to the t...
How many sq ft is the home?
Can you centrally locate the RAX on the 2nd floor?
Reason I ask is the RAX is a pretty potent router. It might just cover fine with proper placement.
the other reason is that for consumer equipment, the only netgear devices that support hardwired backhaul (to function in a mesh) is the MK series of nighthawks and the orbi's. The other access points do function and work but their smart roaming doesn't function with a wired backhaul. You can still use the same ssid as the router but devices tend to be sticky and not roam as well.
Is that your intention? Single ssid function?
