More Wifi,
I have a Comcast router that is in Bridge mode and is connected to my router NetGear WNDR4700-100NAS router
I have security cameras (two), light hub controller and two thermostat controllers all using this wifi on the NetGear router.
I need a better signal through the house (two stories) for other devices to connect to the NetGear wifi, tablets, smart phones, laptops, network printer and PC. What can I use to get more wifi without having to and a second access point? I would like to have just one wifi for the whole house if possible. I found this product https:\\eero.com but it's pretty much just replacing my NetGear router and giving me a mess of wifi BUT to set it up is just an app on my smart phone, I'm a little concern about that since it maybe a lot of work trying to config all of my devices with a phone app. Does Netgear sell a product that will allow me to mesh my wifi? any feed back is appreciated

An extender would be your best bet. I won't post links to Netgear equipment since Nick already did. However, you have to be sure that you place it somewhere where the coverage is still reasonable, otherwise it becomes ineffective.

It looks like you need a wifi extender. Netgear makes a fair amount of these. http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-range-extenders/?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
