Extend Internet to other end of house + garage at back of lot.

Question

Hello,&nbsp; I would like to extend my wifi to other end of house.&nbsp; I tryed one of the Nighthawk Wireless extenders (Netgear WiFi Mesh Range Estender EX7700) wirelessly.&nbsp; All it did was screw up everyone in the houses connections.&nbsp; It was installed correctly.&nbsp; I now have decided to go the wired route.&nbsp; I want to wire an extender to the other side of the house and wire an extender to the garage (approx 100ft from house).&nbsp; What extenders are recommended for this plan?&nbsp; Would the EX7700 be recommended?&nbsp; My primary router is theNighthawk AX6 AX 4300 RAX45 Serial# 6BY60C7UA17BF&nbsp;Thank you in advance for the help...Bradley

If you're adding 2 (buying 2) I'd just look at getting a mesh system like netgear orbi or MK nighthawk. they support both wired and wireless backhauls and would allow seamless transition. They've been pretty cheap renewed on amazon lately.&nbsp;

Can I continue to use my current Netgear Router and just add the MK Mesh wired boxes.&nbsp; &nbsp;Or do I need to change to the MK router as well?&nbsp;

You can add the mk to your current setup. You'd just want to install the MK in access point mode to prevent a double nat

good to know.&nbsp; Thank you for responding.I went ahead and ordered an actual extender, not one of the mesh extenders.I got the EX7000 to wire from my router out to the garage.I got the EX3700 to plug into our bedroom at the opposite side of the house from my office (Router Home)I hope this is a good choice and decision.
