EX6150v2 use with EX6110
Hi there, I need to purchase a second wifi extender as I have a second dead zone in the house. We currently have the EX6150v2, if I buy an EX6110 will they both work? Or do I need to get a second EX6...
You can use them together. But the EX6150v2 is a mesh extender and the ex6110 isn't.
Another thing is try not to daisy chain them.
What I mean is try not to go router----->extender------>extender
Try for extender<--------router------->extender
Reason why is standard extenders drop throughput 50%. reason is they have to send and recieve with the same wireless chip and they can't do both at once. When you daisy chain them, the 2nd extender in the chain is "at best" going to have 25% of the speed your router has. Plus it'll have increased latency.
I usually recommend people to start looking into upgrading to a triband orbi setup if they're needing multiple extenders.
