I first tried turn off the SSID broadcast first, but the wifi lights were still on, then I tried actually turning off the Router within the Netgear Genie, that caused even more problems. "just " shutting off the router side of my modem/router (Netgear Nighthawk C7000v2) isn't as easy as I thought.
#CONNECT MAC EXTREME ROUTER TO A NETGEAR WIFI ROUTER FOR USE AS EXTENDER FULL#
So, the extenders get a full speed signal to extend. That's why you would always want to wire the extender(s) back to the main AirPort whenever possible.because there is zero loss of speed through the Ethernet cable. Remember in an "extended" network when the remote AirPorts connect using only wireless, that you will lose at least half of the potential speed on the entire network. It won't hurt to do this if you want and it is convenient, but it won't really help either. No, if you will be connecting the computer to one of the extending AirPorts. Yes, if the computer is hardwired back to the "main" AirPort and not one of the extending AirPorts. Would I get decent speeds if I were to hardwire a computer on another floor to one of the Airports, better than using WiFi?
Yes, but it won't be a "mesh" network though since Apple never offered products in that category. I would be shutting off the wireless in the Netgear and using the Airport as the primary router, than I could add more Airports to the network around the house to create a mesh?
