wifi extender for better phone coverage in rural area
I am not a computer or networking person. But as a senior I am trying to see if there is a way to use my netgear wifi and extend the coverage to my five acres or at least 700' from the current router I have. I do not get good signal and it is lost about 300' from the house and I want to be able to use my cell phones for me and my husband for emergencies

Hello happydancer2,
We recommend taking a look into our Orbi systems as we have a variety of systems designed for different WiFi coverage needs : https://www.netgear.com/orbi/wifi-systems.aspx
i went on line and looked at the orbi units. I am 74 and am not into technology. I have a flip phone that I thought I could solve distance reception on my phone using my netgear router. From what I see on your website, I can't what I am looking at. I only want to use the wifi for my phone connection. I don't text, blog, facebook, do social media, use the internet, etc. on my phone. So, do I need to hire a computer tech to talk to me about your possible solution?
Hi Happydancer2,
We offer the Orbi systems in which they will provide the largest area of coverage for your wifi needs.
