NIGHTHAWK AC1900 DUAL-BAND WI-FI ROUTER
Hi: I would like to upgrade my NIGHTHAWK AC1900 DUAL-BAND WI-FI ROUTER. Can someone recommend a router. It must be compatible with EXTENDER EX7300, I have 3 of them. EXTENDER EX7300 must connect w...
What AC1900 do you have? (ac1900 is a speed not a model)
Are you planning on upgrading the extenders?
Reason I ask is I usually recommend moving from extenders to a mesh (like orbi or mk nighthawk) system when you're needing more than 1 extender. And if you're looking at upgrading router's it might be worth upgrading the whole system.
Plus you'll only really see a speed benefit to the upgrade for the devices connected to the router.
Hi: I have the NIGHTHAWK AC1900 DUAL-BAND WI-FI ROUTER
- Dude,
AC1900 is a speed, NOT a model number. Look at the label on the router for model number. Most likely, you have an R7000.R700 IT IS.
That would be R7000. You can buy anything you fancy.
You say:
It must be compatible with EXTENDER EX7300
Better think the other way round, the EX7300s should be compatible with the new router. But anything should work.
Why do you want to replace the R7000? What can't it do that you want?
Depending on your answer and your budget, another approach might be to get a router that can replace your extenders. These things have a limited range and older WiFi technology. A decent Mesh system could let you pension off those older devices. The "MK" range is impressive.
You never know, a single router might fill the boll and let you ditch the extenders.
