NETGEAR EX7000-100UKS Wi-Fi Mesh Range Extender EX7000
Four years ago I have pruchased EX7000 extender , which works fine. However due to configuration of my house it not cover the entitre house (non Netgear router is on the second floor, while extender is floor bellow and I want to cover floor above router) . Which model is recomended and does the new and existing extender can work together
Thanks

running 2x mesh extenders can sometimes work great. And other times be a massive headache as they end up connecting to each other instead of the router.
Its why I usually recommend switching to a full mesh system like the Orbi or MK nighthawk for those needing more than 1 extender.
Not saying you have to. You can pick up a matching EX7000 and use it. If it does create issues, simply change one of the extenders or the router's ssid to something different so the extenders aren't connecting to each other.
thanks very much
