wifi extender for better phone coverage in rural area
I am not a computer or networking person. But as a senior I am trying to see if there is a way to use my netgear wifi and extend the coverage to my five acres or at least 700' from the current route...

Hello happydancer2,
We recommend taking a look into our Orbi systems as we have a variety of systems designed for different WiFi coverage needs : https://www.netgear.com/orbi/wifi-systems.aspx

i went on line and looked at the orbi units. I am 74 and am not into technology. I have a flip phone that I thought I could solve distance reception on my phone using my netgear router. From what I see on your website, I can't what I am looking at. I only want to use the wifi for my phone connection. I don't text, blog, facebook, do social media, use the internet, etc. on my phone. So, do I need to hire a computer tech to talk to me about your possible solution?
