Please recommend a basic WiFi extender for my Nighthawk X6 R8000
Hi,
I gave my old R8000 router to my dad after I purchased the R9000 for myself.
He needs a wifi range extender to help w signal in the other corner of his ranch house
Please recommend a range extender that is basic (aka not expensive) that will work with the R8000.
He does not need anything fancy. Just something for a couple of iPhones and iPads. Reliable performance and simple setup preferred over blazing speeds. :smileyhappy: I don't want to spend a bundle on mesh networks. The house isn't that big.
He may be getting newer devices, so 802.11ac (supporting 2.4 and 5 GHz) is preferred.
Thanks.
Aloke

There's a bunch of different models that could work for you.
You can look at the extder page and then sort it by the capabilities you do want.
