have CAX80 router/modem, looking for a mesh extender
my CAX80 modem/router is not centrally located so a good part of the house gets great connection but other side and downstairs is ok, not great. tv's keep losing connection, can't hold it, lots of bu...
thanks for the reply and info. Appreciate it. I'll look into the eax80.
Hope it works well for you!
I've got one that I've tested with my RAXE and and RAX200. Works well. I miss the dedicated backhaul of my EX8000 but the starting point is a bit higher with the EAX.
hey, quick follow up question. a friend also recommended the orbi system. is that overkill or would that be also very useful?
Tough to say 100%. I really like my orbi but my house is a bit bigger than yours. Plus you already have the CAX80.
The CAX80 is a quite high performing device. I was actually using that for quite a while with an extender at my place and it worked great.
So unless you can return your CAX device, buying into orbi is quite expensive. Versus I think just adding an extender will give you plenty of coverage in a 2400sqft home.
