R6120 and EX7700
Hi, I've had a R6120 for a little bit over a year and it has performed satisfactory for home working. As there have been issues with the wi-fi coverage in the house, I've decided to buy an extender ...
A couple things.
1. what isp modem is it?
2. the R6120 isn't a gigabit router. Its only fast ethernet. So 10/100mbps. The max speed you can get out of it wired is 95mbps. so your wifi will be lower because of network overhead/interference/distance
3. the EX7700 is much more capable than the r6120. if your isp "modem" is actually a modem/router combo device, you'd be better off hardwiring in the extender and running it in access point mode
