🔁 Renewed NETGEAR AC750: Dual Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Range Extender EX6100 - Boost Your Wireless Coverage Review

We recently installed a video doorbell on our front door. The installer stated that due to the distance of our modem from the front door, the network signal was not as strong as it should be for the doorbell to work properly. With some reservations, he recommended an extension cord. After a bit of research, I realized that an access point would be the best solution. I installed a Netgear AC750 with a network switch in my office, which is near the front door. Setup was quick, easy and without…

My "updated" product came without any documentation. Just one device in one box. I followed the YouTube instructions exactly, but the setup didn't work. The reason was that the device already had SSIDs that weren't mine - apparently the "restore" didn't involve a simple factory reset. So I spent almost 2 hours setting this thing up including time on the phone with a guy from India. Not my favorite way to spend time. I also can't access the web setting now that I'm off the phone.

I only use this product as an access point, so I have a router in a closet at the other end of the house with WiFi disabled, but it provides 4 wired ethernet ports…

As far as used or refurbished I've had no problems. The product I received was indistinguishable from brand new except for the packaging. However, as a product, this extender/AP has some odd behavior that makes it unsuitable for my needs. In extender mode, it changes the MAC address of each wireless client to a "virtual MAC address". I have no idea why he's doing this. For most people it doesn't matter at all, but if you're using wireless devices, apps, or software that rely on knowing the MAC…
