Sagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway wifi extensiion

I have the Google mesh routers (2 routers, no point) and have connected it to the T-Mobile router. They act as extenders and cover more ground in the house. The mesh network has been great but the weak link in the setup has been the T-Mobile 5G router. I have a Nokia 5G21 which works well for some of the day and then gets bogged down after typical work hours.

From everything I've read and looked at, the Google mesh system works with the T-Mobile routers, for sure. They have instructions how to use it as well as how to hook them up.

Hope it helps.

Extenders are not efficient when it comes to throughput. Buy/use any NetGear mesh router/ap (you'd need at least two) to create a whole house mesh. For this to work properly, you'd need to turn off the wifi signal on your Sagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway and use the NetGear in AP mode. My setup is as follows:

1xSRR60 (NetGear Router in AP mode)

2xSRS60 (Satellites)

p.s. Any good mesh wifi system should (theoretically work, so long as they can run in AP mode). I am just using and familiar with NetGear mesh boxes.

This configuration works perfectly when coupled with Sagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway

To be able to turn off the wifi signal on T-Mobile Gateway you’ll need to download the following file (for Windows boxes) and look for HintControl in the binary folder.

For other operating systems (IOS, Android, etc) you’ll find information on the following link:

@Danh525 I do not have experience with "extenders, only mesh wifi router setups. If they are promoting it I would think it's compatible. Maybe others have some experience to offer. 

Good luck. 

@Danh525, I have the Arcadyan KVD21 and two TP-Link RE305 extenders.  They work perfectly with my gateway.

Same exact gear here. Smooth transition and works great with all the bells and whistle of netgear mesh.
