“I am using Netgear Nighthawk AC3200 X6 for my router and have this Netgear extender. I have a large rambling ranch house but only get coverage for about half the house. Can I add more of these extenders to get coverage to the rest of the house?”

This extender can be used in a cascading configuration. In other words, the ac3200 would broadcast its wireless signal to the first extender, then the first extender broadcasts its signal to the second extender, the second extender broadcasts to the third extender and so on. Just give all the devices unique wifi names, perhaps the name of the nearest room or section of the house. I have my extender named something like “my-wifi-backyard” since I needed coverage in... you guessed it... my backyard. Just keep in mind some minor latency may build up as the number of hops increases, but this will only be noticeable by extreme gamers. My single extender feels very fast, as if I am connected to the original router. I have no complaints with this extender. Lastly, make sure each extender has the latest firmware so you have the latest security updates.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes! I have a tri-level home and I have one on each floor that helps extend the WiFi in my whole house!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.try relocating to several locations to test the coverage areas. That may help in determining the weakest area.
