AC1900 EX6410 mesh extender not connecting to internet
Purchased a couple of these extenders to add to my old D6400 wifi network which works fine but there are a couple of dead spots around the house. Went through the setup procedure for each as instruc...
Not entirely sure I understand the question. I am using the D6400 as my primary wifi router connected to my broadband supplier.
Anyway, problem solved. The Netgear extender products are going back and I have replaced them with a TP-link tl-wa850re which appears to do the same job for a third of the price and took 10 mins to set up.
In order to get full seamless wifi coverage my conclusion is that I will need to replace my current devices with a mesh system - attempting to enlarge an old network just isn't practical.
Thanks for attempting to help.

Just be advised that that tplink extender is a pretty base model N300 device. It isn't going to have much speed/performance. There's a reason its a 3rd the price.
