The router for best effect that covers almost all homes is centered around the use areas and never in a basement. It's only in the 2 out of 100 homes that I may deploy a second WAP or when the owner won't pull the router out of the basement.
Hello!
So I just purchased my first home, and will be of course setting up my own network in the house. On the most recent prime day, I was lucky enough to swipe NETGEAR R7500v2 Nighthawk X4 Router for under $100. On top of that I have an old Airport Extreme(2009) that I still have in my posession. On top of that, walmart was having a clearance deal a few weeks ago for Airport Express @ $15, and I bought the last two. I purchased so that I may use the airport express for speakers outside and also in the garage.
What is the best way to set up this home network? From what I understand the Airport Express cannot be used to extend network without an Extreme. Would the Extreme have to be set to Bridge mode?
Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks!
