Nermsduma Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Quick question, so my router is in the basement on the 2nd floor I have weak signal. Can I just get a net gear WiFi extender I am not looking for fast speeds just more stronger signal... any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Basement not a good place, can you not move it. There are NG extenders but the better extenders use a backhaul channel and to achieve best performance and that requires the R2 to be in DFS which is not possible so it has a knock on effect. It’s not the end of the world. I use EX8000 extenders and they work fine but however on wireless extenders it’s worth noting DumaOS struggle with device behind it. You could however run an AP and that would give better results but again you would need to run a cable to the AP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 1, 2021 As above I would suggest an AP in your situation which would allow the R2 to see and control the devices individually, as well as boost your WiFi range/signal.
