Range extender to detached garage
I have my netgear router in the house. We have a detached garage on different electrical circuit. Will a repeater work on a separate electrical circuit or does it need to be on the same electrical network as the router?

Yes, the NETGEAR WiFi Range Extenders do not need to be on the same electrical circuit.
