Home Internet and wifi extender

Nothing yet. I have an extender coming from Amazon next week. It will be trial error I guess.

I tried two different tp-link extenders and neither one would see the five GHz band, they only saw the lower 2.4 band, I would like to find an extender compatible with the T-Mobile gateway, if anyone has an answer please help! Thanks

I’ve tested with success using my two Apple AirPort Extreme routers. First test was a short ethernet cable to the first AIrPort and wireless to the second AriPort. That worked fine. Then I set it up connecting one AirPort to the Gateway with a long Ethernet cable (in the walls in my house already). That works fine too. No noticeable signal loss. I don’t see anyway to connect any router or extender to the Gateway without an ethernet cable.

Did you ever get an answer? I’m wondering the same thing. Thanks

Did you ever find anything out? I also have the new TMobile internet and due to the my upload speed being less than 2mbps (absolutely ridiculous) I am unable to my security system being that cameras required at least a 10 upload speed. I have spoke with CS for hours and got nowhere? I was told that it should be at least 15 but I have never seen it above 6 in my house. I'm so disappointed being that I had Cox Gigablast before switching and was told that it would match or exceed them...

I split my home internet into 2 networks, 2.4 and 5G. I had to for Roku to work. Now what extender works to get better signal in a farther off room? Will an over-electric-circuit work better than wifi? Will either the former connected to gateway with Ethernet or latter pick up both networks?

Did you ever get an answer? I’m wondering the same thing. Thanks

I am wondering the same and hoping for an answer in plain, non-tech-expert language. Thanks!

I can’t get Netgear or TP-Link extenders to work. Blocks main 2.4 connection until I turn off extender. Tried the factory reset twice on each one. Probably some tiny simple but can figure it out. Any suggestions?

Still having issues with this. Cannot get three different extenders to work. It’s not related to the 10 device limit either. I can get the extender to work with TMobile Hotspot though. Just not Home Internet. Any suggestions?

The issue may have been the 10 device limit on each band. That’s a real bummer for an otherwise great experience. Wondering if if the extender counts as one 1/10 devices the I can connect more to that extender to essentially loophole the ten device limit.
