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...

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.

Sorry, I said "R7000" when I meant "EX7000". My apologies, brainy no worky sometimes.
