EX6120

Having read some of the reviews commenting on set up problems I was a tad apprehensive. Looked like a great bit of gear apart from that so I bit the bullet and ordered it. Took me about 5 minutes to connect it and be up and running. Really easy, just following the instructions in the quick set up guide. I'm using it, via the ethernet connection, to my desktop PC in my home office in the garage. Which is detached from the house and the signal has to go through the house wall (cavity block and brick) and the garage wall (brick and drylined and insulated) with about a fifteen foot gap between the house and garage. Works perfectly, and gives me a much better connection than the BT 610 Wi-Fi extender which I had before and had started to give me problems. I cannot fault it so far, and am more than happy with the performance. As an added bonus it is a very small and neat unit, even with the external antennae, and I can use both sockets in the double wall outlet no problem. I'm just adding to this review as it's almost six months on from purchase, and I'm pleased to report that everything is still working wonderfully. No problems at all and it's been on constantly in that time. Never had to reset or adjust settings. I can thoroughly recommend this item. For all those, like myself. Who pore over reviews and specs prior to making what I hope will be an informed purchase. This is another update as of November 2021, so over three years after purchase, and it's still working beautifully. I am now on BT's FTTP with their latest Smart Hub2 and it integrated with it perfectly. In my opinion anything electronic at this price point that is still giving perfect service after the best part of four years pretty much continuous service deserves top marks.

After getting a new router, the signal wasn't quite strong enough to reach upstairs towards the back of the house, so I went online and researched quite a few WiFi extenders. The house was built in the late 1960s with thick brick walls, so finding a good extender was crucial. I decided to go with this one, as it received pretty good reviews. And, I'm pleased to say, that I haven't been disappointed. Feeding off the main router downstairs, I was a little apprehensive setting it up; however, it was very easy to do so, and it only took a matter of minutes to sync up with the TV, laptops, etc. It integrated seamlessly with my BT router. I've been happy with the performance and signal; however, on the odd occasion, when it has dropped out, which has been very rare, all I've had to do is turn it off and back on again, and it's as good as new. The coverage has been good, as has the speed, which has been great, as it's used daily. I'm sure there are other WiFi extenders out there, but having used this for a year or so, I can't complain about it.

These Netgear Dual-Band extenders really are just the Jolly Job I used the Extender to boost the weak wifi signal Coming from my Skywatcher AZ GTI Alt AZ Astronomy Mount ... It works like an absolute dream ... And the price is much better than you would pay for a dedicated Astronomy Wifi Dongle "Don't be ripped off ,,, just the word Astro increases the price of anything by double" Buy one of these ,,, connect to the Wifi of the extender ... go into command prompt At C:\ type Ipconfig hit return you will see the IPv4 address of your Extender Type the Ipv4 Address into your browser bar ... and then you connect to the set-up page of your new WiFi Extender During the web based set up process you can add both 2.5 and 5GHZ Channels to be cloned The Skywatcher Mount runs on 2.5GHZ Follow the on screen instructions to set everything up as you like it wait for setup to finish and then you will see your wifi device , that you want to boost, with a separate Wifi channel of the same name but with the EXT suffix on the end ... then switch on the Device/Mount with the weak signal,,, Then the weak signal is copied to the extender automatically you then connect to the Extender. Usually using the same password as the cloned/Extended Device ... And you have a nice strong powerful wifi connection to your Mount or what ever device it was that you chose to extend ... It is explained properly in the documentation But it really was a Breeze to set up ... Just Test it Make sure it works Plug it in where you want it And forget about it And get on with your life Well Done Netgear I love these little beauties Great Job :) ++++++ Ty....

This WiFi extender was very easy to set up. I bought the mid-level version to extend my home WiFi to the garage/garden as we were spending a lot of time outside during the lockdown. I followed the setup advice and mounted the extender about halfway between the router and the garage. The resulting extended network was easy to join and worked first time on all our devices. So far, so good. Shortly afterwards the signal began dropping. Listening to streaming music, the WiFi signal dropped about once every 30-45mins and was very difficult to rejoin and reception fluctuated between 1 and 4 bars. I tried repositioning the extender in different sockets at varying distances from the router and had to conclude in the end that despite the promised 40ft range it struggles to extend the coverage barely 20ft past the extender with any reliability, and even then the signal drops regularly. In summary, very easy to set up, easy to use but if you're hoping for the advertised performance, you probably need to live in a wooden house with no other electrical signals or metallic objects!

I have Three of these boosters and have been using them for a long time too, Easy set up, work great with a really good range. Definitely recommend them..

it is not powering up. used for first 1-2 months then I stopped because it does not make a difference to the wifi signal of where I am at. now turning it back on (so I can try ethernet connection and hopefully it works better). No even powering up. tested and i think it is dead. too much for a piece of rubbish. update: Netgear refused to refund and has to RMA because they said they are not the one who sold this (what the heck? who is selling this on Amazon then?)

I can't speak for any of its performance as it was supplied with a UK power plug which contravenes Australian electrical compliance standards and hasn't been plugged in. It was returned for refund but this hasn't been forthcoming, yet.

Does not connect consistently. When it does it does not transmit wifi. Not worth the time fiddling with it to get it to connect and does not extend the wifi. Strongly recommend you purchase a different unit, this one is useless.

Actually it doesn't work as the description says.It sometimes takes a long time to connect to Wi-Fi and sometimes doesn't connect at all. And it doesn't work as far as the range given
