I have my router located on level 1 of my house, great coverage generally. Three areas that are intermittant are the ground floor rear of the house and rear garden patio and a Level 1, front of house bedroom. I am looking to add two extenders, one to the rear extension that would cover the rear of house and garden patio and a second to the Front bedroom. Both extenders can be wired back to the AX12 via Cat6a, if necessary.
I have utilised all the ports in the AX12 so looking to purchase a mini switch/ hub to provide more ports for the two extenders, and furture proofing. A member on a previous post suggested Tri-band extenders over Dual band, is this the best option and can anyone suggest the best suitable products?
If you're hardwiring in, you can use either single/dual band as well. We usually recommend triband when they're going to be connected over the wireless backhaul. Tribands prevent the 50% throughput loss that single/dual band extenders have when connected back the router via wireless.
But you can always go triband if you have enough devices you want them seperated out.
The two Tri-band products available, EX8000-100EUS and EX7700-100UKS extenders utilising existng WiFi. Where i propose to install these two units, there is minimum connectivity to existing WiFi (1-2 bars). Is this sufficient for these two units?
Alternatively, I could utilised the EAX800-100EUS providing additional ethernet ports. This is a Dual Band unit over Wireless, but is it possible to uplink via Cat6a?
