Nighthawk X6S

What is the best Wifi extender? I am in a steel building but have open areas. Just not happy with the signal on the other side of the shop.

Re: Nighthawk X6S

A lot depends on the actual size you're trying to cover as well as what router you're using. 

If you have a wireless AX router it might change the recommendations versus if you have an AC router. 

Plus size makes a big difference. if you're needing more than 1 extender, we usually recommend moving to a mesh system like Orbi or the MK nighthawk system versus adding extenders

Any reason for the X6S in your subject? You have an X6S device that you want to add to?

The wifi extender section might be a better place to ask that.

 

Try plugging your needs into the filters on the product pages:

 

WiFi Range Extenders: Boost Your WiFi Range | NETGEAR

 

and, if you want to go down the Mesh router, you could investigate Orbi devices.

 

Many people use them in wireless access point mode alongside a router.

Then check back here for reports on the things you are considering, but remember that people turn up in this community with problems, not compliments. So look at reviews on Amazon, for example.
