R8500 Nighthawk ac5300 capabilities
How many range extenders can one use with the R8500 NightHawk router? I'm trying to cover a 20000 sqft. area.
Or if this is not the best solutions, does anyone have a recommendation?
Thank you
I would use AP's (access points) placing them at opposite ends of the area. Beware, using SOHO devices will be a problem and you should contact a IT designer to have a survey done and a BOM to avoid building a network that will never work as expected. The use of Range extenders is admitting the network design was flawed from start they limit throughput.
