Extending Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi Cable Modem Router Combo

[stratainc]

Just bought a Nighthawk AC1900 (24x8) DOCSIS 3.0 WiFi Cable Modem Router Combo. but it does not cover the whole house - we are not big, but there is a lot of concrete. What is the best piece of equipment to extend its reach?

• I have an Apple Airport Express Base station that can extent the wifi, but the speed drops significantly.
• I also have an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station - is it possible to use that in some way?

Or ultimately do I need a mesh device, and if so, which one?

Hi @stratainc,

You may look into the option of using the Airport Extreme as an extender. The links below may help out.
