    Hi, if in wrong forum, please remove/repost.

    I have a Netgear extender set up at home, however the signal is still not being boosted to the shed out the back.

    I am wondering if I can plug in another extender in the shed and run an ethernet cable from one extender to the other?
    Rams the signal should still be strong. But would the 2nd extender broadcast wifi?

    Thanks!

    Wireless extenders are a terrible way of extending your wireless network, they half your existing speeds. Fine is you only want to lightly browse but no good for streaming or file transfer as they share the same frequency as your existing WiFi.

    You are best of to forget about the extender and get a mesh WiFi system like Google WiFi or Eero
