Verizon 5G Home Internet access points

[Surefire44]

I  just set up 5G Verizon Home Internet. I have pretty good connectivity throughout my 2700 sq foot 2-story home but would like to improve it. I have 2 Linksys RE7000 access points that were set up for my Linksys router. I’m trying to figure out if I can use them as access points/range extenders for the 5G Home Internet. Anyone have any ideas about this?

If you have the Linksys hardware already, they can be used as access points. They aren't tied to any sort of mesh setup or locked to Linksys routers. Nothing special should be required, but you may need to adjust the transmit power for the Wi-Fi on the Extenders and the Wi-Fi router to help clients roam to the closest access point. You may also need to disable SON on the Verizon router, and ensure the network name/password/encryption are configured the same across all devices.
