Is the Nighthawk® AX8 WiFi Mesh Extender, 6Gbps compatible with the MR1100 Nighthawk M1 Mobile router?

Re: Wifi Extender compatibility with mobile hotspot router

You should be able to add an extender to it. 

 

Another thing you can try is the fact that hotspots aren't exactly known for their wifi range because they have to be portable. 

And the MR1100 has an ethernet port. You could connect an old router/access point to it (router in access point mode). 

That'd have better range/performance (depending on what you used) versus the hotspots wifi. 

Current setup: CM2000-> RBE973S-> Trendnet TEG-S380-> GS716T-> pi-hole
also in AP setup: RAXE500->EAX80

Re: Wifi Extender compatibility with mobile hotspot router

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Mobile Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with mobile routers and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
