I purchased the NETGEAR AC1200 WiFi Range Extender (EX6120) because my internet provider upgraded my service to 5G, but my permanent outdoor celebration lighting system only operates on 2.4GHz. This extender solved my problem seamlessly!Setup was incredibly easy—I had it up and running in just a few minutes. It effectively extends and reduces my WiFi signal to 2.4GHz, allowing my lights to function without interfering with the rest of my home network, which remains on 5G. No disruptions, no headaches—just smooth performance.The connection has been stable and reliable, and I appreciate that the device is compact and doesn’t take up much space. It does exactly what I need it to do, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. If you need a simple, effective solution for extending or adjusting your WiFi signal, this is it!Highly recommend!

NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender EX6120 with AC1200 Dual Band Wireless Signal Booster & RepeaterProsAffordable and handy alternative a $40 totalEasy to setupWorks as advertised with WiFiConsDo not exceed wireless devices connected to itSame data speeds as the router that transmits to itThe Ethernet port failed in my sampleThe NETGEAR EX6120 WiFi Extender is a nice and compact piece of communications hardware that can be beneficial in homes or large apartments where the main Router / Gateway has difficulty to reach the farthest corner of your place or you insist to keep your main Router hidden, weakening its signals.Having used an earlier technology NETGEAR router in the past I was counting on an easy and smooth installation experience: I was well pleased about this one. For the newbie, it is as easy as plugging the extender to an AC outlet, pressing the WPS button in your main router and another WPS button on the extender. But, yes: there are some tech heads among us that demand to get “under the hood” of any gadget. Guess what? You can login to the extender via your web browser of choice to tweak things – or just presume that you know how they work. At any rate, both ways of setting it up are user friendly for each kind of audience. And its 2 antennas can be rotated 180 degrees each, just in case you are as obsessive with catching your main router's WiFi signal as I am with Digital TV antennas to get the strongest signal with the most channels.Do you have in a far corner of your home a computer, game console or video disk player that won't connect to your network unless it can connect with an Ethernet cable? No problem! The EX6120bWiFi Extender has one Ethernet port. So, you can have WiFi AND Ethernet in a place 'far, far away' from your main router within your house. I tried it with a desktop PC connected by Ethernet, several WiFi devices and it ran a windows update download, rebooted and then... the Ethernet port stopped working! Tryouts with other PC and cable didn't work: the Ethernet port failed.Now, don't try playing wise guy or wise girl by trying to connect via WiFi more devices that it is recommended to support, specially if you use one of those devices for teleconferencing (“ZOOM, TEAMS, anyone, anyone?”). This device won't make your WiFi network run faster or better if your main router and / or internet provider's service level subscription has limitations (remember the last time your favorite interstate highway suddenly got all lanes jammed and you though that the next exit will take you to your place faster?). So, if you see a “internet connection is unstable” message during teleconferencing with an application like ZOOM, you may need to compromise between dining out weekly each month or paying for an upgrade to your internet service that allows at least 20 MBPS. A WiFi extender won't make the cut.Sometimes, you may convince your significant other to relocate your main router in a better location to broadcast your WiFi or may get a Router upgrade that can actually extend the signal reach out. But, for those of us who can't, the NETGEAR EX6120 is a good alternative with an extensive WiFi reach.All photos (c) 2021 by reviewer.

After logging into NetGears Setup Page and making a password and 2 security questions I found it fairly simple and quick to get the AC1200 WiFi Range Extender to lock into my router. I live in a mobile home and the WiFi connection in the living room where the router is located is fine but when you take your laptop or Ipad down to the other end of the trailer, in the bedrooms you lose quite a bit. On a lot of sites you would get a lot of buffering. Once I put AC1200 in the back bedroom it was like having the router in the room. Plus there are no cord connections, just plug it in the wall socket. If I want to use an Ethernet Cable with my laptop in the bedroom there is an Ethernet Port on the side of the AC1200 Extender to plug into. Some Extenders I reviewed before buying this one don't have that feature. You can't go wrong with this model. Works great. And if your a member of Amazon Prime you'll get it in 2 days.
