Question

I have a C3700 that works great but I need to extend the range. Which Neatgear device should I get&nbsp;

Pretty much all of netgears range extenders would work.

I would highly recommend the tri-band extenders. Reason why is a standard extender cuts throughput in half because it has to receive and re-transmit and can't do both at once. So its cuts throughput in half and increases latency. The tri-bands mititgate that somewhat by reserving a chip just for router-extender communcations.

plemans&nbsp;&nbsp;I have a related question, perhaps you can help. Is the&nbsp;MESH EXTENDER WIFI 6 4-STREAM (Model: EAX20) compatible with the C3700? Will it help solve issues of limited range and speed with the C3700? How about the EX8000?&nbsp;Thanks in advance!

emilyc&nbsp;If you start your own thread, we can go into more details but yes, either device can help. but with extenders, the router is the backbone of the system.&nbsp;
