netgear wifi extender question
i can't put in the associated product field this extender it will not stay there. i have a netgear router/modem model c3700-100nas and i have out in my back garage 2 ewelink plugin wifi plug type sw...
Setting them with the same ssid doesn't make them a mesh extender. They don't have the built in roaming protocols so devices don't know which device to connect to.
And 2.4ghz is sensitive to interference. so if a device disconnects from the extender, it might end up trying to connect back to the router and vice versa.
You're using the lowest grade devices possible and trying to make them work as a mesh. It'll have stability issues
thanks but for what i need i'm not going to buy mesh devices. all i need to do is turn the garage heater on now and then in the winter and now and then the garage camera goes offline and has to be rebooted. i do not have to connect the phone or anything else.thanks
