Do I need an extender; if so, how can I be sure my current Negear N300 is working?
I just bought and have installed an AC1600 WiFi Cable Modem Router, Model C6250. All seems to be working fine except a previously installed older Range Extender: N300 Model EX2700. Do I need it?; it is 2 stories up in my home from the router. I tried to "install" it with the new router but have reached a dead end. The name of the extender is my old network _EXT; if the extender is working, how do I change its name to the current router?

- plemansGuru - Experienced Useryou can factory reset it and reinstall it.
But if you have adequate coverage, you might not even need it.
