NETGEAR WiFi Mesh Range Extender EX8000
I have a google wifi mesh 3 units and am having trouble with coverage will the NETGEAR WiFi Mesh Range Extender EX8000 work with google wifi mesh and improve my coverage.
the issue with adding extenders to a mesh network is that the mesh network does band steering. The EX8000 uses a 5ghz radio for the backhaul. If the mesh network isn't implemented correctly and is trying to steer the extender to a different band, it can create issues.
its hard to tell you exactly how the google wifi mesh setup works as I don't have one. You could post on their forums for the best way to connect an extender to their setup. Or you could potentially add more google mesh nodes to your setup.
