What should i buy ?!?

Hi to all,

I've two houses. I should bring internet in the second house.

In my first house i've a modem router DG834G v3. Very soon it will come a R7000.

Now the problem, i don't know what i've should to buy in the second house to bring the internet collection. I've to buy an access point or a range extender ?!?

I currently have an access point netgear WG602 with a 54mb with an external antenna pointing to the first house, but the connection is slow.

How can I fix the problem?!?

The two houses are about 20 meters away and there are no obstacles.

Thanks a lot.

  • I checked the manual of the R7000. I could not understand in the configuration base station if having two access points both APs are obliged to pick up the wifi signal R7000 router or an access point only needs to engage the wifi signal of R7000 router and then the second access point enough that attaches to the first access point to be able to go on the internet.
  • I don't understand if each access point have to see the router wifi signal or not. or is it sufficient that only the first access point, see the wifi signal of the router and then repeats it to the second access point. Thanks.
