Simple Plug In Extender for 5G Gateway
Is there a simple plug in extender that will help my T mobile Gateway extend my internet downstairs. I'm not an expert so was just hoping there is a plug and play type extender. Gracias
I use a Netgear EX2700 WiFi extender and can tell you it works perfectly with the T-Mobile Arcadyan KVD21 5G Gateway. It's inexpensive and works very well. It is much less expensive than many other solution and, did I say that it works great?
I've successfully connected a NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender EX2800 to my 5G T-M Gateway. Fairly easy setup using the NETGEAR installation assistant referenced in the Quick Start guide. The EX2800 initially generates its own wifi network once powered on - NETGEAR_EXT. The Quick Start guide directs use of a computer or mobile device to connect to this network for accessing the install assistant. I found using a laptop was the best option. The NETGEAR installation assistant is easy to use, including letting you create your own SSID and password. I elected to use the same ones I'm using for my Gateway. So far, no connectivity issues.
