range extenders for R6020 — AC750 Dual Band WiFi Router to extend a distance of 120metres
I live on a farm and wish to extent the range of my wifi signal to reach the workshop which is located approximately 120m from my existing router located in my house. which of netgears extenders woul...
120m=360ft. A standard extender won't reach that far. Or if it does, is going to have a signal that's pretty much useless. Even if you had one mounted to the outside of the home and one on the outside of the shed.
Even running a line is to far as an ethernet run only goes 100m.
You're options?
1. a point to point system like netgear airbridge
2. a series of steps. so a extender on the outside of the home, then one in the middle, then one on the shed. It might work but the latency will be high and the speeds low as standard extenders cut speed in half for each jump.
