At first everything seemed easy to install and WiFi connection was good. I was able to extend my WiFi connection for almost a year with my ex6100v2. However, I got a new phone and my laptop somehow reset the WiFi networks forgetting the password. I could not remember the WiFi password I made for my extender and had no way of retrieving it. Plus I wanted to add the WiFi extender on my new phone but could not without the password. So I did a factory reset and re-did the installation process. Even though my extender has solid green lights for power, WiFi connection through wps, and good signal to location of extender, my computer and phone will no longer connect. I called NETGEAR support and they wanted me to pay $179 for another one year warranty and to be able to help walk me through over the phone the problem. There is nothing on NETGEAR website that provides any articles to troubleshoot the problem. Looks like I wil have to buy another brand WiFi extender. Did not think it would only last one year!

The best tech purchase I’ve made. We’ve always had places in the house where there has been a weak WiFi signal or no signal at all. This device solves the problem. We can now get a strong WiFi signal anywhere in the house. The best part is, it’s small and plugs into a regular wall outlet. Set up was easy. Be sure to keep it near the router so it can find the signal. Then you can put it in the area you need. Also when looking for a place to plug it in, find a place with the strongest signal away from the router and it will spread the signal everywhere else. Very pleased! FYI: we had some trouble with our phones and had a ATT technician come by. Mentioned getting a WiFi extender and he said those don’t work well. He was so wrong!

Beware, if you need even the slightest bit of support after 90 days they will charge you $49. The setup or firmware updates are so complex you will never be able to do it on your own. Don’t get ripped off like I did. Buy from a different maker.
Karen Stone –
Product does not work well and when I wrote a poor review I got a text message asking me to remove my review…and if I did I would get a new and improved one. So of course I did and a year later nothing even after writing and texting them. This is a terrible product and poor service!
Houston Haynes –
This is a handy and flexible device. Originally I used it as a WiFi repeater, but later found a network cable to connect this unit to the router as an access point (for the back yard) and it switched over and performed seamlessly. Fantastic set-it-and-forget-it device. Great throughput and low latency. Highly recommended.

This extender is working, just as I hoped. The set up was relatively easy, but information is kind of scattered on the internet. But I passed. I began with a link-rate of 11mbps to now on the extension a rate of 84mbps. Intermittent problem solved. But I did NOT buy a refurbished unit. But the unit I received was banged up on its face, like it was used and dropped. When I buy new, I expect newUPDATE: contacted the business and they extended a refund for the unit because of this damage. They did not have to, they did and I’m very thankful. Thank you for your consideration and service. Overall a good experience.

I was not able to set up using my smart phone but was able to set up using my laptop. Fairly easy to follow instructions for someone that doesn’t have much technical abilities. I now get full signal bar strength through out my concrete L shaped one story house and even outside. It really does what it was made to do.

After experiencing continuous dead spots in our homes second level, we finally decided to try the wi-fi extenders. Following review of units available, we selected the Nextgear AC1200. Following a very simple setup process and identifying best location placement, the wifi signal was significantly increased and the frustrations relieved. The dead spots are now fully operational and I would highly recommend this to anyone experiencing similar connectivity issues.

I installed the Netgear EX 6100 very easily and I was able to link my Hello Nest Doorbell to my Wi-Fi network without any problems.Before that, I tried the Google Wifi devices without good results. I want to emphasize that between the nearest outlet and the nest hello there are about 15 feet with a wall of concrete blocks in between.

Delivered quickly. Easy setup. Very pleased so far. Little double sided sticky tape, out of sight out of mind.

Easy setup, used to increase WiFi signal strength upstairs in an older brick home. Worked great. Did a before and after speed test, results in pics.

I strongly recommend you avoid this product. Lasted about 6 months before the firmware got corrupted and it bricked itself. Now it will no longer boot up (stuck on the solid amber light, booting phase). Tried to get some guidance on how to fix the issue from Netgear Support but they ask for an extortion fee of $89.99 in order to talk to their support staff which is twice what I paid for this device. While looking online for help I ran across countless posts from people who ran into the same problem as me and with no remedy to fix the issue had to just toss their router and buy a new one.

This was a little tricky to install. WPS did NOT work. No biggie though. The bad part is, not only does it NOT extend wifi range, it CUTS current speeds from 100+ mbps to under 30 mbps. Don’t waste your money on this piece of junk.

I’m actually feeding off my family’s router who are in an apartment down stairs on the opposite side.WOW my signal is great and it’s actually way faster.
WisconsinPat –
Gets the signal out but 30X slower than regular wi fi connection Others that just plug into outlet didn’t work at all
Donald Buttram –
Less than 1 hour joining this device to my network that included several routers. Netgear products Rock. No chincy small fonts in user manual.
BiaHLL –
Terrible. Same problem as most customers – I have to constantly reset it, unplug from the wall, bring it close to the router, repair it and reinstall the whole thing – and it still simply doesn’t work with several devices in the house – and the ones it works the speed is extremely slow.Don’t buy it.
Alfredo zarate –

After reviewing the negative reviews I took a chance made the purchase. With the ease of set up and noticeable increase speed was a good choice would highly recommend.
