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 ...

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.

Thanks! 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!
