How to find my 5GHz existing network (SSID) when we try to install my Netgear extender?

   

NETGEAR TECH SUPPORT TEAM













If your router is set to a DFS channel you may encounter an issue where the extender cannot see your router network name (SSID) and therefore it is not displayed in the list of available networks to extend. 


Follow these steps by netgear tech support to fix it.

1. Check if the router is DFS certified (i.e. Airport Extreme, Telekom Speedport 724V, WNDR3700v4, WNDR4300, etc.). Only some dual band routers support DFS.
2. If the router is DFS certified, log in to your router and find the 5GHz band or 5GHz frequency section.
3. Check if the WiFi channel frequency is set to “Auto” or to a DFS channel.
   
   Note: DFS channels include channel ranges of 52-64 and 100-140. 
   
4. If the router is set to “Auto” or a DFS channel, change the channel selection to channels 36-48 or 149-165 (note that some countries do not support WiFi channels 149-165) and click “Apply” button to change the setting.
   
   
5. After changing the router's channel to a non-DFS channel, return to your extender setup again or refresh the network list and you should now be able to see your 5GHz router network name (SSID) in the list of available existing networks you can extend.

NETGEAR R7000 NIGHTHAWK ROUTER REVIEW

NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK R7000 

Sleek, militarized and ahead of its time, Netgear’s Nighthawk R7000 802.11ac wireless router. It looks like the future of routers – and technically, its AC1900 specification leads nearly all competitors. It also offers Netgear’s proprietary Beamforming+, which greatly increases the reliability and network speed at distances, compared to traditional Beamforming technology. 

The Nighthawk’s sleek design, quite obviously, apes the recently retired F-117 Nighthawk, a radar resistant “stealth” attack aircraft in the United States military inventory. The router uses a variety of hard angles in its build, giving it a similar, slender profile with the aesthetic resemblance of a black gemstone. It employs a USB 2.0 port in the back, in addition to a front-mounted USB 3.0 port. The USB port allows the Nighthawk to access external storage at speeds approaching 5 Gbit/s – ten times the speed of USB 2.0. I assume the USB 2.0 port exists for connecting to network printers.

Hardware Specifications

• Dual core 1GHz ARM CPU
• 256MB RAM
• 128MB internal storage
• 1 x Gigabyte WAN port
• 4 x Gigabyte LAN ports

Features

• OpenVPN: You can log into your home network, securely, using VPN.
• DD-WRT: The Nighthawk supports DD-WRT firmware, meaning users can install such software as Tomato to gain granular control over the R7000’s features.
• 256QAM: The latest standard that allows faster wireless transfer speeds.
• Quality of Service (QoS): This is a proprietary stream technology, which, according to Netgear, improves streaming video quality.

Performance

The R7000 Nighthawk features, technically, AC1900 data transfer speeds, Netgear’s Beamforming+ proprietary variant on Beamforming technology and outstanding broadcast range.

Dual-band routers offer better connection quality and speed over single-band. They broadcast at both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. While 2.4GHz offers better range, 5GHz provides better speed, particularly for streaming videos and other online content. All dual-band routers offer two separate SSIDs, one for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz. The user chooses which provides better connectivity to their device. In apartment complexes, 2.4GHz tends to be overloaded with users. In houses, walls tend to impede the 5GHz band.

On the Downside

The R7000 suffers from two serious problems: First, it’s impossible to fully test its maximum transfer speeds on a Beamforming+ device and it’s not a great improvement over cheaper wireless-AC routers.
