How do I choose a compatable range extender for my Nighthawk R7900P
I just moved to a larger house and I need to extend my wifi range. There are so many different products offered by Netgear, I am confused as to which ones to purchase. I want them to be compatable with my Nighthawk X6S. Can someone help me?
Thanks!

A lot depends on what you want. The extenders should all work with your router but it comes down to the features you want with your router.
Are you just wanting a super basic N300 extender that only extends 2.4ghz or are you wanting a triband extender that reserves a single radio for just the backhaul and has mesh functions?
See where I'm going? I don't know exactly what features you want but you can go to the netgear's extender page and select which features you want. That narrows the field for you to a smaller subset of extenders.
