Nighthawk R7350 and AX8 combined onto one network issues

Question

I have a nighthawk R7350 in my house running my network and I purchased an AX8 a while ago and wanted it to continue to share on the same wifi network so I could travel from my house to my shop without changing networks on my phone or other devices. Netgear at the time went round and round with no resolve and I finally just made it 2 different networks. The issue with this is the r3750 reaches far enough to the shop to hang onto my phone or laptop but not strong enough to work. The AX8 is hardwired in my shop.

Can someone please help me with meshing these two together so the ax8 is basically a repeater antenna, if that makes sense.

Thanks in Advance!

Bummer, ok well i guess i am looking for new stuff. I thought when i bought the ax8 that was an option.

If this one is not an option can you point me in the direction of a netgear that will work with my nighthawk r7350

Would an RBK50 setup be able to do as I need? My house is only 2000 sqft and then it would be hardwired to the satellite in my shop.&nbsp;

Ok i just ordered a rbk43 ac2200 from amazon with router and 2 satellites. This should cover me I think.&nbsp;

Have you tried turning down the broadcast power on the R7350?you can set the ssid broadcast power so it doesn't reach as far.&nbsp;

neither router is a mesh system so they don't "integrate" but if the power is lower enough the R7350 disconnects, it should auto-connect to the AX8
