New internet provider using existing netgear router
I have just changed internet service providers and I want to use my existing router but don’t know how to set it up
Hello, My existing router is a Net gear Nighthawk AC1900, My new supplier has fitted me with a TP Link AX1500 WiFi 6 Router, the problem is i have an extender so i want to use my Net gear Nighthawk router. My Extender is a Net gear AC2200
Those AC numbers are wifi combined numbers.
The NH router will be a R#### and extender should be a EX####.
What is the brand and model# of the ISP modem/ONT that the TPlink is connected too?
Router is R7000
Extender is EX7700
New router that i have been supplied with is a TP Link Archer AX10
There a ISP modem in front of the TP Link? Brand and model#?
You should be able to replace the TP Lilnk with the R7000 if you want too. The TP Link is newer and has WiFi 6 where as the R7000 is only WiFi 5 supporting.
You could try to connect the EX7700 to the TPLlink however may not work well or if it does, would only supply WiFi 5 signals as it's also not WiFi 6 supporting.New RouterThing before router
