Does Netgear EX7300 add value
My configuration is complex and has R8500 (1) with EX7300s (2) and EX7000s (3); it used to be EX7000s only (4). They all use the same 5Ghz SSID. One of the EX7000s (A) reports status connection speed...
Using extenders will add a 50% throughput penalty. You would only see MU-MIMO benefit when two or more MU-MIMO clients are connected to a router that supports it (if it does it correctly). If you want more consistent throughput, configure your extenders as Access Points - use Ethernet cables to connect Access Point to the 8500 - (for those that support it).
Thanks, not a solution for my configuration.
I do not use wireless on the extenders (EX7000s). All devices at EX7000 location are connected to the ethernet ports (or USB port) on the EX7000.
I do not see a 50% drop in internet throughput as configured.
Hello, I wold like to know if Netgear EX7000 speed 2,4 gh up to 600mb is better than EX7300 speed 2,4 gh up to 450mb in longer distance!!!!!in some forums advise EX7300 for longer distance, but in theory EX7000!!!!sorry for my bad english!!!!
I do not use 2.4 on the extenders. All of my connections use 5 (1733mbps on EX7300). I find that the R8500 2.4 distance is fantastic for my needs--'remote' 2.4 only audio media players.
I would assume the EX7000 would be best for you; plus you get the ethernet ports. I do not know why Netgear went with new design for the EX7300.
