Best signal booster for C7000

Question

I just picked up the Nighthawk C7000 modem/router for our home to take advantage of our 400mb service. It certainly does that on a hardwired connection. The wifi connections are getting around 80mb on our laptops. While that is not slow, I was wondering what some recommended signal boosters are to go with this router to get the speed up a bit more. We live in a 1600 sq/ft house. Thanks.

Thanks for the info on the other channel. I switched it and both laptops are getting around 180mb via wifi.

Something to post about over in the WiFi Extender forum:

A EX7700 or EX8000 will work.

Be sure to visit the cable modem forum as well:

Good Luck.&nbsp;

Are you testing those speeds over 2.4ghz or 5gh?&nbsp;
2.4ghz is a much slower network than 5ghz. It also suffers from more interference

I used 2.4. I will switch it over to 5 and see what difference that makes.
