Review on πŸ”Œ NETGEAR AC1200 WiFi DSL Modem Router: Fast Dual Band Gigabit Internet Access (D6200) by Chris Munns

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No Magic Beam - Networking Products

I purchased this product hoping to expand my network beyond what my Actiontec Wireless-N 300Mbps ADSL Modem Router (GT784WN) can provide. Do not go. So if you're buying it for the "beam" or extended range nonsense, don't waste your time. This is the hour of my life that I will not get back. And back to Revane she goes. Who cares, my father built an addition to a brick house many years ago - and there's a modem there. Well, to be honest, it's actually outside the brick house. But anyway, I bought this based on all the reviews from people sticking it in their basement in a three story house. I have no idea if these reviews are true or not, but then again, this modem/router performed absolutely no better than my old one, which is a lot cheaper. And yes, I tried both 5G and a normal connection. And I even went to the trouble of getting my brand new iPhone SE to the "Beam" modem and getting away from it. And unfortunately I watched the connection bar drop from 3 to 1 like the modem/router I already have. I wish this trick would work, but in my case it failed miserably.

Pros
  • Durable Finish
Cons
  • Defective
