Looking for wifi extender for 2 xbox one consoles being used at same time
I have a netgear wifi 1750 and xfinity router/wifi 1 g. 2 xbox one units are always lagging and thought maybe an xtender would help.
Any suggestion for better connections for the xboxes?

Can you post the model number of the Netgear device? There are a couple of router models that provide AC1750, but no currently shipping extenders. We need to know what you actually have (and if it is a router or something else).
Also, if you could provide the model of the xfinity router, that would be helpful too.

Sometimes an extender can help, but sometimes it won't. Are the xbox consoles close to the WiFi router/access point?

My netgear is R6700 and the xfinity one is Xb6-T which is the newest 1g one. They said would be faster but it hasn't been.
So they have 2 options of wifi but still lagging in the room next to these units. I didn't know if having 2 makes it worse...so was looking for someway to fix this. The xfinity tech says my netgear is a good one and they should be fine with that but maybe as 2 xboxes working at the same time??? not sure, thanks for all your help
