What is recommended extender for my Nighthawk X8 R8500?

Yes, you can use a mesh extender with your device. They work well if you only need 1 of them. If you're needing more than 1 extender, its better to just go with a full mesh system like orbi.

Thanks for the quic reply, and good advice on the tri-band. Looks like Netgear has only one non-mesh option. Do mesh extenders work with my non-mesh unit?
