Range help!
Totally new to this, so please forgive my ignorance. I've purchased a Nighthawk X6 AC2200 Tri-Band WiFi Range Extender in the hope to reach up to 102 metres from my modem to run security cameras...

No idea where someone said they'd reach 80 meters away. Thats quite a distance to reach. It does a bit better in open air versus a home but reaching that far is quite the distance.
Usually what we recommend when someone is trying to reach something 100 meters away is using a point to point system (like netgears airbridge) and then connect an access point at the end of it.

Thanks so much -(probably a dumb question) but does the airbridge connect to a 2.4 network as well?

airbridge is hardwired in. You connect in the "master" that is sending the signal. It sends a signal to the receiver on the other end. That device you connect an access point to.
