Could just use some positioning suggestions
Hey gang: I just need a bit of guidance as I try to resolve a signal problem. I've got: - A Nighthawk R8000 router - A Nighthawk R7000 range extender - An EX1200 range extender Here's my dilemm...
WinterMute wrote: I'd considered an idea: does anyone know if FastLane boosts signal strength? I'd considered the EX7000 being FastLane to the router on the 5GHz and then maybe the EX1200 being FastLane to the EX7000 on 2.4GHz.
But I can't tell if that's just crazy talk...
Here's a link on this forum, that discusses the R8000 and EX7000, in the configuration you are looking for. The thing with the extender, is that you will need decent wireless signal between both devices, so you may have to move your devices around, until you have a strong wireless signal between the two devices.

would it work to have two routers possitioned part way towards both ends?
Can one cable feed two routers?
when I bought my r8000, I was told the range was 450 feet. but I 'm not sure.
I would like to supply two houses with one cable. Anyone know if I could put a splitter on and run a cable to both houses from the same souce? I am in the country and have to put up an antenna to pick up a bug tussel signal.
Hi mover92,
Does your cable connection have a modem? If yes and it's a plain modem, it will only provide one Public IP address which the setup connection you want with two routers will not work. You may need to check with your ISP if it possible with them to have that kind of setup.
Thank you for the reply. I wonder if I put the modem halfway between the houses, if the signal would go 150 feet into both houses. I'm in Wisconsin and the modem would be in unheated shelter. would the cold cause a problem?
Temperature could affect the performance of the modem. There is a specific room temperature that it requires to perform well.
