What is the best mesh system I can add to my Nighthawk LTE mobile hotspot?

Hi Dwhetsel,

Good day!

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

Thank you for reaching out. May we know which particular Mesh system are you looking for? An additional Mesh router? Mesh extender?

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance.

A mesh extender I assume. Does the hotspot serve as the router?

Hi Dwhetsel,

Good day!

Thank you for your response. Yes, the hotspot will serve as the router but this kind of setup is not recommended but possible. You may check this link for our wireless mesh extenders https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/range-extenders/

Why is it not recommended? The hotspot is the only wifi option I have in my home (and it works very well) I just need it to cover a larger area than it does.

Hi Dwhetsel,

It is not recommended because you may not have a stable internet connection from the extender because some hotspots may have an intermittent connection from the cellular tower but if you think that your internet connection is very stable then you may use the extender.
