Converting C7800 to mesh
I have a Nighthawk X4S AC3200 Wi-Fi cable modem router which works well but does not have the coverage I need for my house (single story, long, ranch-style). I would like to avoid extenders and convert over to a mesh system. Can this be done with my existing modem/router, or is it best to start over from the ground up? Netgear offers quite a few mesh systems. Are some more suited to my application?
The C series modem doesn't support any kind of MESH tech.
You would ether try some WiFi extenders.Or connect up a NG Orbi or Nighthawk MESH system in AP mode.
Or convert the C7800 into modem only mode and connect up a NG Orbi or Nighthawk MESH system in router mode.
