Simple Plug In Extender for 5G Gateway

Just purchased a TP Link RE305 A1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender [under $40].  Setup was a breeze.

Purchased a Netgear EX3700 and could never get it to connect to the T-Mobile 5G Hotspot Router.  I was able to connect it to my backup AT&T DSL router.  Setup was brutal.  Spent several hours trying and re-trying to get it to work with every configuration combination.

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?

Thanks! Do you use an ethernet plug in to a device?

Any notice of speeds dropping when doing it wirelessly?

I'm looking to get this this week, this model was available. I'm guessing it's the same just broader coverage?

NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender EX2800

 

How do you connect to Netgear ex5000?

As the Netgear EX2700 WiFi extender is no longer sold has anyone actually connected the 5G T-M Gateway to a  NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender EX2800

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.
