Connecting AC1900 Mesh Extender to AC1900 Router
I currently have the R7000 AC1900 Wifi Router on one end of my 2-story house, and a EX6200 AC1200 Range Extender connected to it in a detached garage, located about 120 feet from the router. I would...
So you're planning on going:
EX6200<--------router------>ex7000
Is that correct?
If so, it potentially can work. I'm impressed the EX6200 is connecting in a detached garage. exterior walls and that much distance makes it a bit impressive that it connects at all.
I usually advise people who are trying to do something like that to move to an actual mesh system like a triband Orbi.
Your are correct on my planned connection. I spoke with a Netgear support person today, he said it should work. I am also considering a 3 satellite Orbi AX4200 system. Not sure I need that much horsepower, as my main users are connected via ethernet. Also, its $115 vs. $600 for the two solutions! Thanks for your comment.
