Considering buying Netgear wifi extender
Hello, I want to extend my wifi network in my remote shop. I currently have a router provided by my ISP (Frontier). I have an ethernet connection to the shop from the router and a Wavlink wireles...
many of netgears extenders support access point mode. (not all). and many routers that do as well. the only reason I recommended orbi is because by the time you buy 2x dual band extenders or a router in ap mode and extender, you're within reach of the orbi setup and its a seamless setup (single ssid operation). versus using 2x extenders tends to create issues.
You can go to netgears wireless extender page and filter by performance.
Thank you. I would like to keep my ISP router so I am looking for an Netgear extender/AP that will accept the Ethernet connection then using wifi connect to another Netgear extender/AP. I will be the only one using the network so bandwidth/throughput is not an issue.
