Which mesh extender for 6700v3
Hello I currently have a 6700v3 router and am needing to add a mesh extender to pick up spotty wifi to a few google home products. The closest plug to 2 cameras, 1 doorbell, 2 speakers is about 60 ft ...

If the distance is a issue I'm not concerned with trying to get a signal to a out building in the future. Can you recommend one that will fit the needs of being at the furthest point in the house within range of our 6700 and be suitable to handling 2 cameras and 2 speaker. They will be on the exterior of the house within 50 feet at most. Would a basic plug in ex7500 fit the bill or would something more extravagant be in order. Would hate to just try things.

I can't tell you 100% what will work decent. Like I said, brick blocks wifi well.
But the EX7500 is a solid option to try.
Keep in mind with extenders that you don't want them at the furthest point because they still need a signal to work.
You want them halfway between where the router is and where you need signal.
