Compatible WiFi Extender with Netgear R6300v2 Router

What would be a compatible Netgear wifi extender with the Netgear R6300v2 Router?

  • Strictly speaking, all of Netgear's extenders are compatible with the R6300v2.  Picking a model depends on your needs.  They can include one or more of the following:

    • Single band (2.4 GHz) or dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) support?
    • Are wireless clients single band or dual band or a mixture of both?
    • Do you have wired devices that need network access?
    • Can you or are you willing to connect the extender to the R6300v2 via Ethernet or Powerline for best performance?
    • Do you need a powerful extender with external antennas due to challenging conditions (thick walls, long distances)?
    • Is physical size important?

    There may be other things to consider.  The above are merely what I could think of.
