Wifi range extender
I installed a Ring Doorbell and the app says my wifi is weak. Can you recommend a plug in wifi extender? I have a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 model D7000v2
Thanks
You are looking for 2 mbps speed to/from the doorbell. So perhaps try measuring the speed using a mobile phone (speedtest.net). Try both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz.
If the Ring doorbell is the only device you'll be connecting to the extender, than the EX3700 would be a cost-effective option. You'd need to put it somewhere in between the doorbell and the router (so it will get a solid signal from both).
