Adding second WiFi extender

 

 

Looking for advice on extending my current home WIFI

 

My current configuration has

  1. Nighthawk X6 AC3000 tri-band Model R8000
  2. Nighthawk X6SAC3000 tri-band Model EX8000

 

The Router is in my home office and the Extender is in a detached building near the garage and connectivity via the extender is excellent.

 

I want to install another extender on the upper floor of the house to improve connectivity in one room. I want to share the same SSID name as I have with the current configuration.

 

Question – Besides the Nighthawk X6S are there other NetGear extenders that offer sharing the same SSID?

 

I prefer not to buy another X6S because of the footprint size. Ideally I would like a wall outlet extender that has the same functionality as the X6S in the 5GHz range,

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks

 

Al

Hi @alcat,

                 You can look for EX7500 which has same features as that of EX8000, but no LAN and USB ports and LED pattern will be different.
