Use WNDR3700 to boost R7000 Wifi?
I have an R7000 currently in use, both wired and wifi. Unit is downstairs and I would like to boost, primarily, 5gz upstairs for new TV. I also have a WNDR3700 that also supports 5gz, not is use. Can...
As a follow up to this thread, my TV arrived early and is happily using 5G, along with an Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick (downstairs). Am totally impressed by the Netgear R7000 as it's a floor away but still supports 4K video streaming on 5G with absolutely no stutter or buffering, along with a couple computers and smartphone on 2.4. Totally impressed.
Thanks to those who responded with ideas. I can only imagine what the X-10 is like.
If the TV has a wired LAN input an easier option might be powerline plugs.
That is how I connect my BluRay player to the Internet. Much more reliable than wifi.
You could even get a powerline set that also provides a wifi access point for that part of the house.
