Asked 5 years ago by Bob.

Q: QuestionI used the app to set up the WiFi Extender; however on my mobile device and laptop it does not have the WiFi option for Netgear. It still only has my Spectrum option. Should I see a WiFi option for Netgear? Thanks

• A:Answer I also had issues with the extender trying to set it up via the app. I then connected the extender to my computer using an ethernet cable. The process was less frustrating and provided more customization. Absolutely no problems since.

Q: QuestionCan you keep your original band names for 2.4 * 5GHz with Cox Panoramic router/modem combo ? I'd rather not have just one name, so that I can choose the faster bandwidth for some devices. And I'd rather not have to have 2 additional _EXT names.

Asked 4 years ago by PBzzz.

• A:Answer I have this booster as well as (unfortunately) the Cox Panoranic router/modem. The short answer is yes. I was able to extend our 2.5G and 5G wireless networks using the exact same SSID's. The instructions tell you how to do it and it DOES NOT put an EXT on the boosted signals. You can roam within your confines and your wireless devices will automatically switch to the strongest signal without a hitch. One side note.... I did a wireless upload/download speed test before AND after I added the booster to my network. For me I found that after adding it I had stronger signals to the far reaches of my house/yard but it seems as if the device robs a little bit of the total wireless bandwidth capabilities even when I'm right next to my Cox router. I took a hit in the overall wireless download/upload speeds for getting a stronger signal in the weak areas. I'm still using the booster and am happy with it's performance so far....

Q: QuestionCan you use more than 1 unit? I want to extend to two zones at the same time.

Asked 5 years ago by JoeP.

• A:Answer I can't say for sure that it isn't possible, but the hit to your network speed if possible will likely create some performance issues. Extenders tend to reduce network top speeds on the order of 50%. That may not create any negative issues, and given the rating for this item, doesn't seem too. Double it up and you might really see some problems, plus for that price, you can have a better solution via a mesh wifi product. Look at mesh wifi solutions, such as the google nest wifi. I have the Orbi RBS-50 and one satellite from netgear. I like it OK, but I think the google app is better, which is a big deal when you are trying to find the right spots to place the "nodes".

  I would recommend:

  • 

    Nest Wifi - Mesh Router (AC2200) and 2 points with Google Assistant - 3 pack - Snow
