Review on πŸ“Ά Enhance Your WiFi Network with NETGEAR AC1900 Mesh WiFi Extender (EX6400) for Seamless Roaming and One WiFi Name – Works with Any Router by Renee Robinson

Crashes multiple times after 12 hours

Expander mode crashes multiple times after about 12 hours. Not recoverable by Power Cycling. The only way to recover was by doing a forced factory reset and then reprogramming. Couldn't even connect. It's clear that the Netgear device has failed since I was able to connect to the main hotspot. One day I was able to connect to it, but it wouldn't connect to the internet. Another time when I stopped broadcasting, I couldn't connect. Both times the status light was green. It was a restored block. Maybe that's why they brought it back? I can believe that the factory failed to recognize a problem that takes many hours to show up. However, this suggests that the factory is not burning them properly. (I'm a design engineer for analog communication ICs). This is the third Netgear WifI extender that failed for some strange reason. The previous two took about 3 years to fail. RF performance is good (range), but digital communications are unreliable. This is my latest Netgear product.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Crumpled
