Range Extender for an R7800

Hi All,

 

For my home network i am gonna buy the Netgear R7800 but furthermore i am searching for an good range extender for those spots where the wifi won't reach.

I checked the netgear website and i am doubting on 2 models 

 

EX6150 & EX7300

 

Was wondering if somebody can give my their opinion / advise or maybe suggest even an whole other model ? 

 

Furthermore i am wondering if i can use the same SSID on my router as on the range extenders ? So i don't need to change everytime from wifi spot. 

 

Hoping you can advise me 

 

Thanks in advanced

    Hello Xavi2503


    You can use the same ID as it is not recommended your devices will not automatically change to the extenders network you have to do that.
