Wifi range extender

I installed a Ring Doorbell and the app says my wifi is weak.  Can you recommend a plug in wifi extender?  I have a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 model D7000v2

Thanks

Re: Wifi range extender

You are looking for 2 mbps speed to/from the doorbell.  So perhaps try measuring the speed using a mobile phone (speedtest.net). Try both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz.

 

If the Ring doorbell is the only device you'll be connecting to the extender, than the EX3700 would be a cost-effective option.  You'd need to put it somewhere in between the doorbell and the router (so it will get a solid signal from both).
