Booster
Hi
So I have an established Wifi network(WIFI!), super hub V1, its working on 2.4g and all devices in the house are connected to that network (WIFI1)
If at any time I switch on the guest network (WIFI2) and for example login with a tablet, it has access to the internet, but does not have access to anything on WIFI1
Thats how it suppose to work, and thats all fine...
However, signals are low upstairs, so I would like to buy a booster, but Im getting difference responses from Netgear when I login to live chat.
Im thinking that a Netgear booster will give me 2 options, the first option is to boost the existing wifi, or the second option is to provide a strong hot spot
So this is where Im confused, if the booster provides a new hot spot (new network id) then Im thinking anything connected on that hot spot wont have access to everything on my default (WIFI1)
I was hoping to buy a Netgear booster that has 2.4g and 5g, there are devices in the home that will only work on 2.4g so cant switch over to 5g
I tested 5g and its very strong, works very well, but as I said a few devices will only work on 2.4g
So Am I thinking that the booster wont just amplify the signal, it provides a new network, and so no use to me?
