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.

- spikerzAspirantSo for you with an ac extender i fix my issue ?!?
But i've need to connect the antenna at ac extender to take the signal from house two to house one.
So is there a range extender ac where can i connect an external antenna and i can use speed wifi ac and wpa-psk key ?!? - jmizoguchiVirtuosoR7000 has external antenna with three antenna so should reach if there is no major interference
- spikerzAspirantOk R7000 has three antenna but in the second house if i don't connect the external antenna at the access point wg602, the access point does not receive the signal. I've configured R7000 in base station with the wg602. In wg602 i've configured the function point to multi point because i've another access point wg602 in the second house upstairs. I bought R7000 to use the speed ac of the wifi. Can you explain me why i can not use this feature if i set R7000 in base station ?!?
- jmizoguchiVirtuosoI didn't say you can't
If you have two WG point to point then first one wired to main router and should be an issues - spikerzAspirantBut i've the R7000 in first house and two WG602 access point in the second house. One downstairs the other at the second floor. Downstairs in the second house i've the access point WG602 with has connected the external antenna that look the window of the first house of the room where there's the R7000. The other access point is always in second house but at the second floor. I've configured it in point to point with the mac address of the access point at downstairs while the access point at downstairs with the external antenna i've configured it point to multipoint because i've used two mac address, one of R7000 and one of the access point upstairs. The R7000 in first house i've configured as base station with mac address of the access point in the second house downstairs. When i say external antenna of the access point in second house downstairs i refer to this https://www.google.it/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&docid=gc5ijOc1KC8tWM&tbnid=wPkeEcgzNWYivM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tp-link.it%2Fproducts%2Fdetails%2F%3Fmodel%3DTL-ANT2414A&ei=C1ljU5HjKYjkOomtgYgP&bvm=bv.65788261,d.d2k&psig=AFQjCNEsypdosOS9PXsZ_v7RsC7TP75FtA&ust=1399106183995152 I've put this antenna outdoor from the window of the second house and the antenna look the window of the room of the first house where there's the R7000. So if i could not use the cable from house one to house two... What should i buy to take the advantage of the speed wifi ac in the second house ?!? Thanks a lot.
- jmizoguchiVirtuosoOh.. Well you will only setup by no security but able to use 802.11ac setting to have WG to connect via repeater setup may fail
I would say you need 802.11ac extender
This seething you need to buy and test see
Otherwise running cable is on horizon. I assume power circuit is separate so power lime device can not be used.
I would also search 802.11 extender that has external antenna capable - jmizoguchiVirtuosoNot sure EX6200's antenna is detachable. If so then that is what you want.
Contact netgear to verify it - spikerzAspirantSorry one question... But with the R7000 is not possible set wds point to multipoint configuration ?!?
Because before when i used the DG834G v3 i've configured it in wds with two access point WG602.
The configuration was:
DG834G v3 set wds point to point with mac address of the first access point AP1
AP1 set wds in point to multi point with two mac address: one of the DG834G v3 and the other mac address of AP2.
AP2 set wds point to point with only a mac address of the AP1.
I can't do this configuration with R7000 ?!? IS IT ONLY THE FUNCTION REPEATER OR BASE STATION ?!? - jmizoguchiVirtuosoI do not own one.. refer to manual..
- spikerzAspirantPlease help me.
I've tried all the possible configuration but doesn't work. I've tried repeater and base station with the two mac address of the access point but doesn't work.
If i use one access point, the access point with the antenna works great. When i configure the second access point in wds point to point with the mac address of the first access point internet doesn't work. I've tried to add to R7000 configured in base station all the two mac address of the access point but doesn't work.
I've a question... All the two access point have to see the wifi signal of the R7000 or only the access point 1 with the antenna have to see the wifi signal of the R7000 and the access point 2 send the signal to access point 1 that it see the wifi siagnal of R7000 ?!?
