Netgear EX6100 Operating Mode Question
Hello, I have the Netgear EX6100 Wifi Extender and everything is all set up. My question is when I go into my settings I see "Operating Mode" Which one is best for gaming? I have a Nighthawk R7000 router that supports 5G. My settings at the moment say "Device-to-extender in 2.4GHz only and extender-to-router in 5GHz only (Router must support 5GHz band)". Is this one best for gaming? Or should I choose the other one? Thanks!

Here's more on the FastLane technology: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24662/~/what-is-fastlane-technology-and-how-do-i-configure-it%3F
For example if you're gaming through the Extender's connection you can try the set up:
PC/Console --- 5ghz --- Extender --- 2ghz --- Router
and test it against your current set up
PC/Console ---2ghz --- Extender --- 5ghz --- Router
