Copatiible Wifi Extender with the TMobile 5G Internet Gateway?
I am looking for recommendations on the best Wi-Fi extender for the 5G home Gateway. I have both a TP Link RE 220 and a Netgear EX3700. They both fail to connect due to MAC address issues… even though they work fine with my current modem/router. I am looking to move away from my Xfinity service but need a Wi-Fi extender in my garage to connect some of my outdoor enabled devices. ¡Gracias!
Thanks!!
I’ll keep ya posted
Jodi, it's just an app that you use to set up the extender/router. The instructions are in/on the box. Easy! If you have any trouble holler at me.
I am having difficulty finding an extender that works with the new 5 G Tmobile router.
I just purchased Beth McNabs suggestion & it is arriving tonight.
What is a Tether APP?
Thanks this is so frustrating & I appreciate the help
Don't use DLink E15 device, worked with ATT wired network. Can't find the T-mobile network.
I agree with BethMcNab, I researched for a while and was hearing nightmares with cheaper brand. I got this on Amazon. I am not kidding, with the Tether App I was up and running in 5 minutes! Super easy.
We purchased a tp-link RE7705X (AX300 Dual Band) We-Fi 6 Range Extender from Best Buy over the weekend. The t-mobile unit does not have a WPS button so we used the Tether App we downloaded to my phone and followed the directions in the box. I do not have a large home (live in an RV) but it worked just fine after trying different spots to plug it in!
do you have to pay for a security service to make netgear WIFI extender EX6120 work???????
does netgear EX6120 work w/ 5G Gateway??????????
We have a mesh system in the house but you can't daisy chain them… the hubs are supposed to be equidistant to the main hub. And they don't push signal crazy far. Signal is pretty weak the back of our property.
I was thinking about plugging in a really strong signaled wifi router to my hub that is closest to the backyard with it’s sole purpose to provide a Wifi network to my ring cameras and wifi gate lock, etc, that are on the other end of our property.
I can’t see why this wouldn’t work! thoughts?!

OK and thanks again. Can you recommend a new WiFi extender that works well with TOM. I am running short on time.
Sorry no, I don't use wifi extenders since those cut bandwidth in half and doesn't pass devices seamlessness as mesh does. That's the only recommendation I can give you is go full mesh system. It's more expensive but it works much better. I can confirm Asus ZenWifi XT8 works fine in both AP and DHCP mode. I used this back with cable so it wasn't a new expense for me when switching to TMO.
