Physical location for Multiple EX8000 (X6S) Range Extenders
Hello, I've looked through this forum and online and cant seem to find the answer I am looking for.
Its looking like I need two range extenders with my router to get the coverage I am looking...
Hi Dantastic,
Welcome to the community!
A wired setup is always recommended to get the most bandwidth as there are lesser variables to deal with which makes setting up the extender in AP mode the most ideal if your priority is speed especially if you already have the network setup (Ethernet wall patches and/or if you don't mind long Ethernet cables). As far as the wireless options, Extender < Router > Extender is the better option/positioning since you will lose speed with an extender to extender connection.
