Hi

I have just had a One NZ Deco B28 installed.
Whats the most suitable wired extender to match this as i am thinking wired access point setup because i have some dead spots at home
I currently have wired extenders as they are located where theres no power point.

FYI - I am also exploring a 3D printed wall holder as none are provided

The One NZ AI chatbot said

For your Deco BE28, we recommend using additional Deco units to create a mesh network rather than traditional wired extenders. 

For your Deco BE28, you can use several compatible Deco models in a mesh network. The available models include Deco BE48-5G, Deco X58-4G, Deco X50, and Deco X80-5G units that can work together with your BE28.
(But some of these are wifi6 and not wifi 7)

HI. Use another BE28 as its Wi-Fi 7 as well. also make sure your connecting devices ( if possible ) be Wi-Fi 6 and above to reap the benefits of coverage and throughput.
