Nighthawk C7000 AC1900 Modem/Router Lag Issues

[Jeffronik]

I have the nighthawk ac1900 router/adapter model c7000. I just purchased the Nighthawk AC1900 Range Extender model EX7000-100NAS. Will this truly help in areas of my home that don't get the best or fastest wifi? If so, do I just plug the extender into the wall or do I also need an Ethernet cord from router to the extender for wifi? I'm not computer savvy, so I'm hoping it works and isn't complicated.

If you have wifi dead spots (either completely unconnected, or low-performing), then the extender can help.

You put the extender in a spot that is in between the router and the dead area - so it can reach the router, and also reach the dead area.

Although you aren't technical, I think the user guide and the installation guide are still good places to start.
