Mesh extenders for R7000
Purchased this through Amazon and now want to expand the WiFi coverage. What is the best way to do it?

How many extenders are you looking at adding?
If its more than 1, i'd look at returning the R7000 to get a mesh system like orbi or the MK series.
if its only 1, then I'd look at the triband extenders. Because of their dedicated backhaul, they're much faster and lower latency than the standard single/dual band extenders.
Thank you! Is there a specific brand a nd model of a triband extender you would recommend? I am looking to add only one, so it sounds like my R7000 will work...
The EX7500/EX7700/EX8000 are all solid devices.
I've personally used the EX8000 but its backhaul is wider than the R7000 supports.
So I'd look at the EX7500/7700
