Suggestions Range Extender
I have a dead zone in the far corner of my house and was considering adding a range extender to my XR500. Can anyone suggest a reliable compatible extender? Thanks!
Model: XR500|Nighthawk Pro Gaming Router

Re: Suggestions Range Extender
I'd recommend the tri-band line of extenders. Standard extenders (single/dual band) drop throughput 50% and increase latency. The tribands have a dedicated 5ghz chip just for router---extender communication that decreases that latency and doesn't take that same speed hit.
Tribands:
EX7500
EX7700
EX8000
RBS40V (has extender mode)
RBS50Y (also has extender mode)
