Access Point and Extender mode
If I have the first extender set up in Access Point Mode, must I keep the ethernet connection? I have two buildings with a garage between. The first building I live in - has the router. The secon...
How far apart are these?
You ideal setup is with a hardwired connection and not using wireless. The reason is a standard extender has to receive a signal and then rebroadcast it. And it can't do both at once. So it looses 50% of whatever throughput it had in that area. Add a 2nd extender and you're goin to be at less than 25%. Potentially much less depending on where each was located.
If you can hardwire in the devices, you'll have much better speeds/performance.
If thats not possible and the distance is to far for standard extenders, I'd look into netgears airbridge setup.
