I want to extend my Wifi signal

I plan to add 2 mesh wifi range extenders IF the placement of the 2nd will extend the range of the first. Looking at both the EX7500 and the EX8000, would the 2 combined or pairing a couple of the 7500's accomplish the task, and if so which might prove stronger. OR do they just hand-off an ever-weakening signal?

Model: EX6400|AC1900 WiFi Range Extender

Re: I want to extend my Wifi signal

Hi @belhaven,

                       If you don't want wired connection from extender you can go with EX7500s. If you need a wired connection anywhere, you may go with EX8000 at that place only and EX7500 on reset of places. It'll help to extend weaker signal to which it was setup with. So, if you are going to extend signal from first extender, second extender should be configured with first and goes on. Normally that is not recommended since you may get better signal, but performance might dip a bit.
