WIFI 7 Pro Router With With Wifi 7 Plus Extender. Will it work?

Hi.

Does anyone know if the WIFI extenders for the Wifi 7 Router Pro (SH40J) are compatible with Wifi 7 Extender Plus (SW35A) or can I only use the Wifi 7 Extender Pro (SW40J).

I want to know whether upgrading to a faster broadband package will mean my existing Extender Plus will work with the Pro Router, or if I need to replace both the router and the extender to the Pro version?

When I called customer support, they seem to imply to me that the Wifi Extender Plus and Pro were the same models, which clearly isn't the case, when you look online and find two different model numbers.

I assume if the Wifi Extender Plus did work  with the Wifi Router Pro, it would be supoptimal due to the difference in avaiable channels. Is it better to use the Pro or Plus model, I am currently on the 900MBs package.

Thanks in advance.

No. the SW35A won't work with the SH40J & Yes, you may only use the SW40J with it.
