    Hi TodVon,

    Thanks for your question. Nighthawk X6S Extender is the first tri-band extender from NETGEAR with FastLane3 technology that provides you with a dedicated wifi link from extender to your existing router. The best part is that you can still continue using your router's ssid throughout the home without having to create multiple ssids. Compared to dual-band extenders, the speed could be ~2x or more depending on the router/number of clients and various other factors. Nighthawk X6S can cover an additional 2500sq.ft to give you adequate coverage for a very large home. You could even add more X6S for extra coverage.
