Do I need this device if I have the Netgear - Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router (R8000)?
I currently have a Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router (R8000). How much better will this extender make the router? Or is this over kill? I have my router on the middle floor(home is three stories). Do I also place this on the middle floor?
This extender will not make your actual router "better." It extends the signal from your router to a broader area. No, I would not put it on the same floor as your router, that would defeat the purpose. The extender is for a situation, for example, where your router is on the first floor and you don't get no or poor signal on the third floor. You would put the extender on the second or third floor to boost the signal to the location where it is poor. If your router is on the middle floor, and you get a good signal in all parts of your house, then you would not "need" this product.
