The majority of residences have enough range to cover any Wi-Fi dead zone. This is the quickest extender we've tested, and it can extend your Ethernet signal by 75 feet and your Wi-Fi signal by an extra 65 feet. Included Components: Quick start guide, Nighthawk AX8 8-Stream WiFi 6 Mesh Extender (EAX80) Wireless Communication Standard: 802.11axĭata Transfer Rate: 6 Gigabits Per Second Netgear EAX80 AX6000 Important Specifications There are a few things to know about powerline, such as that all adapters have to be connected to circuits in the same electrical panel, so if your home has a main panel and a sub-panel adapters on the sub-panel would not communicate with adapters on the main panel.1. As it uses ethernet and powerline the communication issue you have with the Range Extender wouldn't be a problem. Its remote unit is wireless with both 2.4 and 5ghz band and can be cloned to use the same SSID as your router. Powerline adapters sold in kits connect one unit to your router via ethernet and then sends a signal to a 2nd unit through your home's powerlines. Now if you do not want to go through the hassle of switching ISPs or buying your own router and or modem there is another option, Powerline. Yes there is a cost involved but it would solve the issue at hand.
Since we can't fix the issue as it is with the ISPs provided equipment the suggestion to use your own equipment is a valid option. In the meantime, warn people, please! I'm sure it's are correct some ISPs do not charge for equipment, but that is typically only when you have a package deal with them including phone service. Thanks for your reply and I hope that tp-link will quickly come up with a solution. It frankly is completely worthless to me - and it was NOT cheap. Had I known, I would have purchased different equipment. Wherever these are being sold, there needs to be an included statement that they do not currently work with the widely distributed Spectrum equipment so people will buy other models. Can't begin to express how frustrating this has been after working on it for several days trying to troubleshoot the issue and then finding out my time was completely wasted. I'm just hoping tp-link will jump through the necessary hoops to make this work. I sincerely wish that people would stop suggesting "buy your own equipment.ġ - purchasing your own equipment won't guarantee that things will work eitherĢ - buying MORE equipment is EXPENSIVE - maybe that won't break everyone's bank but I - and many others - don't have the money to drop on our own equipment or we would have already done so before coming to a forum about this issue, andģ - not EVERY ISP charges for their equipment these days! Both the Gateway and DNS servers must be the Router’s IP address. Step 4: Change the Gateway and DNS settings. Step 2: Seth the RE450 to a static IP address with in the router’s subnet Step 1: Disable the DHCP Server of your Spectrum router Making your Range Extender your network’s DHCP Server: Make the range extender your DHCP server (See Below).
