Which wired access point works well with N600 WNDR3400 v.1
I am looking to add at wired access point from my N600 WNDR3400. Any suggestions?
If you need a wireless access point and have cables installed, there is no reason to go for a wireless extender. Look at an WAC124, WAC505, ... these are dedicated wireless APs.

Thats asking a lot without much info. Its like saying: I need an automobile with wheels, recommendation? give us a little to go off.
1. What size area are you covering?
2. how many devices are you trying to support?
3. Whats your budget (big one here)?
Looking at a ~2000 square foot area of coverage area for my home. Would like to support upto 8 devices (3 laptops, 3 phones, 2 tablets). I already have the above router in office at one end of the home with two ethernet cables feeding entertainment unit at other side of house, the other currently feeding an access point using Netgear router N-150 WNR 1000v2.
I would like to see if I could get better range by replacing the Netgear router N-150 WNR 1000v2 access point.
A good place to narrow the search is probably Netgear's product pages, where you can feed in your needs, things like the size of your property, for example.

Thank you. I have looked at the AC1200-Dual Band WiFi Range Extender. Hard to get any tech specs if it will work with my above router.
