which extender to purchase?
Even though I have a small house, my router is in basement and I am having weak connections going through brick for outside use. I am looking for a wireless extender recommendation that is compatibl...
Thanks for the reply.
I have a Nighthawk ax4 Rax 40.
The router is down in my basement. I live is small cape style hows about 1,000 sq ft.
I was going to have the extender plugged in near a window that is about 12 feet away the doorbell. Or I could put on an inside wall that is closer but it goes through brick or steel door.
I would think any type of extender would help at this point. I just want to make sure it is compatible with the router
Any of netgear's extenders should work if you're using the RAX40. but again, your issue is the brick. from the sound of it, your house isn't huge so its not a distance issue, its the brick. Not sure if an extender will help unless you can get a line of sight on the doorbell that bypasses the brick.
