NETGEAR WiFi Mesh Vary Extender EX6400 – Protection as much as 2100 sq.ft. and 35 units with AC1900 Twin Band Wi-fi Sign Booster & Repeater (as much as 1900Mbps pace), plus Mesh Sensible Roaming

Game changer, delivers strong wifi
I have a 70 ft long ranch, with basement. Netgear router upstairs reaches whole house, including most of basement. But the basement family room, furthest distance and downstairs from the router, was not able to get a strong signal for video on tv. Bought this extender, placed it in the basement. Easy setup, and extender has given me 100mbs anywhere.. anywhere up stairs and anywhere in the basement. Simple setup, great wifi generator, seamless signal, great price. Buy a Netgear router and compatible Netgear mesh extender…you’ll be glad you did.

Works well but some gotchas
I bought this wifi mesh extender to replace an old range extender that was not “mesh” capable. The old extender required me to set it up with new names (SSID’s) for the extended 2G and 5G wifi networks in my house. It “sort of” worked but depending on where I was in the house I had to force phones, laptops, tablets, etc to connect to the base or extended network for best performance. My house has a masonry walls between the room with the Spectrum router and back bedrooms significantly reducing the signal strength of the 5G wifi network without an extender. a Full mesh router replacement is at least double the cost of this Netgear mesh extender and seemed to be overkill so I decided to try it.The GOOD news. When installed it works as advertised. It gives me strong 5G and 2G wifi signals throughout my house with a single name (SSID) for each. No longer do I have to manually change the network on devices and they connect and stay seamlessly connected when moving between rooms. A signal strength meter on my phone shows good signal strength throughout the house. My ISP is Spectrum who advertises 100+ gb internet speeds in my area. A speed test run on my tablet from the farthest point from the Spectrum router shows well over that.The GOTCHAS I ran into. These may be particular to my setup and Spectrum ISP provider so your mileage may vary. First I tried setting the router up with the app they recommend on my phone. When the app got to the screen where it asks for the SSID and password for the WIFI networks it failed with the error that the password was incorrect. I tried several times verifying I had not mistyped the password but no joy. So I went to my windows 1o laptop and followed the instructions in the online guide for setting it up from there. Thie password was accepted and it got to a screen where it seemed to be saving its configuration and hung. And hung. And hung. Started over and still no joy.ENTER CUSTOMER SERVICE. I went to their web page for help and started a chat. The chat responded quickly and asked for my phone number and someone called me within 2 or 3 minutes. They had me connect my laptop to then and they walked through the settings. The tech found my problem when attempting to access my Spectrum router. He explained that while I had security software on my devices I did not have any firewall settings enabled on my Spectrum router. I was told the Netgear router detects the lack of a firewall and will not connect to an insecure router. OK, how do I fix this? I was told Netgear would fix this but it would cost me $120 service charge. OK I said, I’ll look into it myself and decide if I can fix it myself or I’ll return the extender to Amazon.I googled for information about my Spectrum router and found out how to log into as its administrator. Once logged in it had a nice graphical screen for settings including “access control”. There is a tab there for firewall, and yes indeed it was set to no firewall. I picked a level of firewall protection that looked appropriate for me and logged off. Back to the configuration of the Netgear extender and VOILA! Everything worked… both networks extended with the same network name as on the Spectrum router, and all the Good News in the section above!Hope this is helpful to others that may have the same or similar issues with their ISP provided router. I fault NETGEAR for not explaining in any documentation I could find on line or in the packaging about the need for the firewall to be configured on the ISP provided router. Of course a firewall at the entrance to your home network is a good idea (necessity) regardless of the security you have on individual devices so I have no issue with the requirement. But NETGEAR at least prominently document it. I fault SPECTRUM for not making it clear to me via their installers and their documentation that I even HAD a firewall on the router they gave me and recommending or insisting on some level of configuration.

Outstanding Product
This is a Great wifi extender that is easy to setup, fills dead spots in the house with a strong signal, and seamless switching back and forth to main Netgear router. I would highly recommend this product.

Terrible producto, trate de hacerlo compartir Wifi de un AP Meraki y no se pudo a pesar de que segí todas las indicaciones. Aparentemente se conectaba y las extendía pero ningún dispositivo se pudo conectar.
