QuestionI need LAN ports for a few devices. is it possible to connect a router or the existing wifi router to get additional ethernet ports ?
Asked 5 years ago by Vinay.
- Answer I had same issue and chose to grab a netgear LAN switch as the online instructions to utilize an old router seemed like it may compromise the purity provided with this system (especially if I were to do it myself ;-) ). Looks like that's an option to do so but I’d recommend setting up a new switch to go with the new system that will probably be able to handle more in the future as well.

QuestionI currently have the rax-35 4 stream ax3000 router with an ac1200 netgear extender. Will this system work better?
Asked 5 years ago by Popnfresh.
- Answer I do not know if this will work with your extender, but I suspect that with this product I doubt you will need the extender. I have a 2 story home, approximately 3000 sq ft in size. My base station is in the master closet (where the telecom company dropped the line) and the satellite is upstairs. We get strong signal all throughout the house and well into our front and back yards. I called netgear presales support to ask them some questions before purchasing, they were very helpful. They would answer your questions for sure.

QuestionWill these be good for gaming?
Asked 5 years ago by Cale.
- Answer Yes I have the main base station near my gaming pc so that I have a lan connection, The other base station is near my sons pc and he has the exact same ping. The Repeater module has a lan port also. Even using the wifi I see no drops in ping. Overall a great system. I would buy again.

Questionwith the satellite do I need to just plug into the wall or do I need any other special things to get vest performance
Asked 5 years ago by Matt.
- Answer The satellite does need to plug into the wall for power but not for internet. It receives wifi from the main router and then transmits that out from itself to the area it is in extending the coverage/range.

QuestionI have the AC3200 Nighthawk x6. Can I use them to expand my signal strength? My house is larger than 3000 sq ft. Plus a basement. IF NOT, What do you recommend?
Asked 4 years ago by DCFR.
- Answer You can but I would recommend getting more satellites. I personally have two routers and two satellites (two upstairs and two downstairs) and basically made the second router a satellite through the options on the router login website. That way everything is speaking the same language and you don’t have any confusion with the different router softwares. Works great for me and I have coverage all around the house Inside and out!! Good luck

QuestionI currently have the nighthawk rax 120 router. Will these work as repeaters for that or do I have to use one as the router?
Asked 5 years ago by Avguy.
- Answer You would have to use one as your router, and use your RAX 120 as a bridge to extend your network. This would be serious overkill though unless you have over a 4500 sq ft house.

QuestionI'm looking to replace the ubee all in one modem/router that came with my Optimum Altice One set up with a MESH system but I need voice and the ability to run my gaming PC by Ethernet cable. Will this system work?? Would I need something else ??
Asked 5 years ago by M50Rider.
- Answer This is just a router and a satilite. This is not a modem. So unless you buy a separate modem with voice capabilities it wouldn't help you.
