NETGEAR Extender Compatibility with Spectrum WiFi 6 Router

I am looking to purchase the NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender EX2800 for my house floor. I was inspecting my WiFi 6 Router and noticed that there isn't a WPS button like previous routers from Spectrum.

Has anyone encountered NETGEAR extender product incompatibility issues with Spectrum's latest routers in the last year? If so, where you able to install and use your extender with no issue?

    You could try asking in the section where they talk about extenders.

     

    WiFi Range Extenders & Nighthawk Mesh - NETGEAR Communities

     

    Then there are the product pages for these devices:

     

    WiFi Boosters & Extenders | Wifi Range Extenders | NETGEAR

     

    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.

     

    Is there a Spectrum community that you could also consult?

    What spectrum router do you have? 

    Also, the EX2800 is a super basic/slow extender. While it might give you some additional range, its going to be pretty slow and anemic.

      Love spam/scam links in follow up posts. Wastes my time.

        There has been a flood of this stuff, several today, with the same wording and links that go nowhere.

         

        Perhaps it is beyond the skills of the people who provide Netgear with its "bulletin board" software to trap such obvious abuse.

         

        Who needs artificial intelligence when you can use natural stupidity?
