I want to extend my wi-fi signal to the basement and den. I have the R7800 and definately want to use the router's capabilities. What extender is recommended?
I also have the R7000 that I can direct connect to the R7800 but plan on using the R7000 for WRT on the same network but without extending.
I usually recommend the triband line of extenders. With their dedicated backhaul, they don't take the same 50% throughput reduction the single/dual band extenders do. So they tend to be faster/more stable.
I connected the EX7500 to the R7800 router. After a few attempts the EX7500 was able to display all blue lights. I moved the router to a central location and still received blue lights. Two iPhones found the two bands but were unable to connect to wifi. I checked the SDID settings and made port corrections as per the manual. Still could not connect. Printer not connecting too.
This morning the 5g light is off. Tried resetting without success.
Working. What a go around. Finally was able to get all devices recognized. My TENKIN plugs took awhile to recomnnect but all is good. thank you for your assistance.
