I don't know if I really have the device above, this is what it says on the box:
NETGEAR Mini N300 Mbps Wi-Fi Range Extender with External Antennas
It's a 2G one, and I am wondering whether I need a 5G?
I need to extend my wifi range to a garden room approx. 22m (72ft) away from the router in the house. The one I have gets about as far 21m (69ft). I understand there are extenders that have a 30m reach, but I don't know which those are.
Before purchasing another wrong one, I wanted to ask Netgear Support, but all I can get is prewritten pages that don't answer my question, no email address. Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask. I don't know what to do.
It's also possible the answer to this question is in here somewhere already, but I don't understand the technical jargon and don't know what to look for.
What are the specs on your router? And what wifi band is your devices currently connected to?
If you have a router that supports both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz, then you can get an extender that supports both. But if your router only supports 2.4 ghz, then you wouldn't necessarily need an extender that supports 5 ghz unless you plan on upgrading your router later.
