I'm needing to extend the reach of my Nighthawk AXE7800 Router

I'm needing to extend the reach of my Nighthawk AXE7800 Router

Greetings,

 

I have a Rachio Wifi irrigation controller that is just outside the range of my Nighthawk AXE780 Router.  

 

So, I'm hoping that someone can recommend an extender that would be comparable with my router.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to take the time to help.

The EAX80 would be closest and recommended. NG doesn't have a extender with 6Ghz as of yet. But the EAX80 should work well.

Are you referring to the RAXE300 model router?

Very cool thanks for your help.

 

Out of curiosity, do you foresee a time when NG will come out with a fully copyable extender? . .  not a big deal if this item will work . ..  just curious.

 

Anyway, my irrigation system thanks you.

FURRYe38,

 

Apologies for the bother; but before I seek out the EAX80; can you tell me if I could use then following as an extender?

 

I have a a satellite cube from a previous NightHawk Mesh Wifi 6 system; so, I have this satellite cube (MS80) . .. would this work as an extender . . . I'm guessing not; but thought I'd ask before spending the money on the MS80

 

thanks again for any help.
