Connecting Two R7000s Together
I would like to extend my R7000 network into a mesh. If I buy another R7000 will they connect together either via ethernet or WIFI to create a mesh with a single user identification experience?
These are not Mesh routers. You can connect them to each others (Access Point), but you won't be able to create a true Mesh network, even if you turn on Smart Connect (which is buggy across many NG routers).
Thanks.
The reason I asked is that Netgear seem to claim that adding a Netgear mesh extender (EX7300) to my R7000 will create a mesh network
I don't know about NG extenders, but it's possible they behave like sattelites. Worth a try, or not. Your choice.
