Adding wired wifi extender to my rax41 router
Hello all. I am simply looking for something. I have the rax41 nighthawk router in my basement. I want to run ethernet from that router to a wifi extender out to my garage. Can someone recommend a pr...
Many of netgears extenders have ethernet ports and support access point mode.
You can go here: https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/range-extenders/
and then filter it by the specs you want
- I appreciate this. I am aware that they have eithernet ports. But to me it seems like most of them are to hook up devices. I see alot of wifi extenders wirelessly from router and then the extenders only having eithernet options to hook up devices. I don't understand support access point mode. I want something great that can support my 1gb download speed that can connect from my already existing netgear router. And use the extender for wifi wireless broadcast only. Your message was pretty general, ill try and follow but looking for more clarity on extender type and direction on accomplishing what i am trying to do please
- I just reread what you said. Are you saying that i want to look for extender that has eithernet with access point mode? if i were to guess that means accepting connection from my router with\thru eithernet?
Most of Netgears extenders support access point mode. Just the very base models (like EX2700, etc) don't.
Are you wanting an AX extender or an AC extender?
- Okay basic you mention.
What is ax or ac?
I want an extender i can have eithernet cable from my router to pass on wifi signal so i can use extender wifi. I want to increase my wifi coverage without moving or changing my router location
