My 6 year old networking gear is getting ready to die.
I've been using a DGL4500 from D-link and its matching USB adapter across two floors with success for the most part.
I'm likely going to go ahead and get the Netgear AC1900 R7000 Nighthawk and get the AC1200 USB 3.0 adapter that matches it from Netgear for that second computer. (No AC1900 USB adapters exist that I'm aware of)
I'm reasonably confident that should do the job although I'm curious:
I see that there is a Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk Range Extender. I understand what these are for. I'll keep the concept in my back pocket in case I end up needing it but here is what I was wondering:
Would I be better off plugging that second computer via ethernet cable into this and using this instead of the USB Adapter?
Thanks!
