📶 NETGEAR EX6120 Wi-Fi Range Extender - Expand Coverage to 1500 Sq Ft, 25 Devices, AC1200 Dual Band Speed, Repeater & Booster with Compact Wall Plug Design Review

Received December 2017. Easy install for anyone with experience setting up a router. And it worked perfectly as advertised. I had no drips as many people have reported. Unfortunately, in July 2018, after 7 months of use, I developed a burning smell. As you can see from the photo, the device began to burn and melt. I have used the outlet for a variety of purposes and have never had a problem. The item was properly connected and was never removed or damaged. It could have burned my house down.

This Wi-Fi range extender works, I think it's ok if it's your only option. But I will write about my experiences. Installation and setup weren't that difficult; I was able to install it either way from the 3 options known in the comments section (I didn't have to use the secret unannounced one). What really annoyed me was the drop in performance in terms of internet speed. I have decent fast internet coming from a hard ethernet line from my modem. Even if this range extender was within 5 feet…

I felt compelled to write a review as there are several bad reviews on this product. Full disclosure, I've been in IT for 25 years so I'm generally good with technology. I'm basing my "easy setup" on being able to walk my mother-in-law through the setup over the phone. This product is incredibly easy to set up and get started as long as you have a WPS-enabled router. You simply press the WPS button on the router and then the button on the N300. Do this in the same room to ensure a strong…

Great addition to my wireless network. I have a "man cave/office" in my detached garage about 100 feet from my cable company provided Wi-Fi modem. This was actually possible but the signal was without an extender but it was weak and often lost connection or slow speed. I installed this NETGEAR N300 about 50 feet away. Now I have a great connection for my laptop. The initial setup is as follows: Plug the range extender into an outlet (I placed them side by side) very close to the modem. DO NOT…

I didn't have enough bandwidth to watch Revain Prime videos in my bedroom with a Netgear WN3000RP coming from my AT&T Uverse router. I tried the Netgear Nighthawk which was too powerful for the internet speed I had and couldn't work with. Then I bought this AC1200 and it works great. I can easily stream Revain Prime, Netflix, and HBOGO videos to my bedroom. This is a winner for me. Despite having a slower 2.4GHz internet speed with Uverse, this range extender works great to give me the…

Okay, be very careful with that. As we went through the installation instructions everything seemed to be going fine until the login screen appeared with your login name and password (which you created in the previous step). The problem starts here. After the login attempt, the process becomes cyclic and fails to connect even after multiple attempts. This is where it gets risky. We contacted their online chat service, explained the problem and a service technician called out for "help"…

UPDATE: This only works if you disable access control in your router. Then everything is fine. UPDATE: Everything worked for me, but nothing in the instructions helped me. If you can make your extender visible to the router, log in to the extender using a browser and the extender's IP address displayed on your router. You need to create an account and then follow the instructions with smart settings or something like that. I have a router for my LAN and modens for Comcast. My error described…

#1) I am a full price buyer for this product #2) I need something to extend my Comcast WiFi connection to my bedroom which is never more than 25 feet from was away from me . my modem. However, I'm sure for some reason I could never really get a good, strong connection in my bedroom due to the layout of my house and the barriers between rooms. #3) I bought this not knowing these products just based on ratings and reviews. #4) Very fast delivery as always with my favorite Prime membership. :)#5)…

The device itself works as it should after commissioning. The instructions are completely useless. I spent about an hour trying to set it up using the "Connect with WPS" and "Connect with NETGEAR Setup Assistant" setup instructions included in the quick start guide, to no avail. I was about to request an RMA but decided to look through the answers to questions and customer reviews. I came across a review by Minnie I. that describes a very simple and straightforward setup procedure that consists
