Range Extenders have turned out to be a great
evolution in the networking field. Netgear has been one of the leading brands
for the routers and Range extenders. People usually find difficulty in
receiving wifi signals from their routers as the signals tends to drop because
of the range capacity of the routers are very less in proportionate to their
house space boundaries. Range extender extends the signals from the routers and
spread it across the house or any premises where signals are very weak or to
the places which are dead spot (which means zero signals being received from
the regular router. Netgear has come with some very excellent range extenders
which extends the signals drastically.
Netgear AC1900 EX7000 is one of those
extenders which can be used in houses which are very big , business premises or
where people need better speed and signals throughout their place. It is very
sleek in shape and very balanced weight. It has three antennas, four Ethernet ports,
