X6 AC2200 EX7700
We would like to get an extender for our R8000 AC3200 Nighthawk Router. I was wondering if the X6 AC2200 EX7700 will work? We have a large 2 story home and are having some dead spots. Could you ...

Yes. It'll work.

Will I be able to connect to the same network seamlessly? Haven’t used one if these bef.

If you set it up in mesh mode "one wifi" mode, it will.
If you're needing more than 1 extender, I'd recommend moving to an actual mesh system but if you're only needing 1 extender, thats a good option. they're pretty cheap off fleabay/renewed.
- mmitschSep 22, 2024TutorThanks! If I did end up getting 2 of these would they work? And, for moving to a Mesh system, do you have a recommendation? Seems they are expensive but I am not familiar with what I should be looking for - any guidance would be helpful. We live in a large 2 story home with lots of TV’s, gadgets, kids gaming (on things like Nintendo Touch, tablets, pc’s, etc.).
Appreciate your help!
