I lock onto a strong signal and the indicator is green and within a

It even detects WiFi from neighbors two floors above and below us, with a strong signal

This works great to enhance the signal.

Signal for 2.4GHz is awesome around entire property (house in subdivision)

I simply set the netgear AC1200 in the corner of the house where i could get a very weak signal before and went through the very easy setup process and suddenly i had four times the throughput as i did before and of course 5 bars of signal throughout my entire cabin.

My intent when buying this unit was to place it in the front window and establish a local wifi network within my house that uses the hotspot as its internet source WAN.Well, the unit sometimes connects to the hotspot and sometimes not, even though the signal is strong enough for my laptop to connect fairly reliably when the laptop is in the same location

With EX6200 signal is strong and 5GHz band

And it has really boosted the wifi signal in the part of the house that the router wifi wasn't reaching.

it does extend the wifi signal a bit further than my apple airport, but it has to be located fairly close to the router to get strong enough signal to work.

It is not like a cell booster where you would fill house with a stronger signal in or out

Very weak signal, whether in 5 or 2.4 ghz

I had poor signal quality at one end

Our router is on one side of the house and our bedroom is in the far corner of the house, therefore we had a very weak wifi signal

We installed the Netgear AC1200 towards the middle of the house and now we have a strong fast signal.

The external antennas that improve signal quality, coupled with the fact that the device has 5 Gigabit Ethernet Ports *and* a USB connection (for a READYSHARE storage device or a printer) make it a perfect fit for a tech-heavy home where you want a strong high-speed signal for a lot of devices

This thing constantly loses either the 2.4 or 5GHz signal; I have to keep restarting; firmware updates do not help.

It seems to provide decent output power and has no problem with weak input signal strength, however it can't provide truly seamless WiFi range extender functionality because you can only name one of the radio SSIDs the same as the source router SSID.

and I have a full & faster signal strength even down on my pier 150ft away

For whatever reason, this unit couldn't reach roughly 18 feet through plasterboard and wood floors with a stable signal

The first issue is that the 5G signal seems to not work.

And the app for my phone that is included that sniffs out available WiFi signals and shows their strength was a nice bonus.

Signal is much stronger and reaches the garage in the back now

This boosted my wifi signal tremendously.

(it's a public Xfinity hotspot and I am a paid subscriber, so I'm not trying to steal any signal)

I now have excellent signals on two bands, fast and reliable on two floors

The Netgear Wi-Fi Extender has ended those issues, and we now have consistent signal everywhere in the house

I suspected a weak WiFi signal.

Plugged in, turned on, detected the appropriate signals.

With the EX6200 the signal is strong and allows for about 3/4 of the upload and download speed I would get if I was directly hooked into the router

I get a decent signal for about 50 to 60 feet

The external antennas that improve signal quality, coupled with the fact that the device has 5 Gigabit Ethernet Ports *and* a USB connection (for a READYSHARE storage device or a printer) make it a perfect fit for a tech-heavy home where you want a strong high-speed signal for a lot of devices

I couldn't get good signal with Comcast in my kitchen prior to buying this.

My husband wanted WiFi out in his shop but he lost signal when he walked in the door so we got the Netgear ac1200

If the extender will have a reasonable signal to your router

It set up quickly and now we have strong signals everywhere.

Easy install and the greatest thing about this is that once setup it can be plugged in anywhere in your home to boost the signal!

I have a Verizon mifi 6620L in one building (with an external antenna to boost the cell signal).

The problem with the TV's is I sometimes have interruptions and have to wait for download and some connection issues because of weak signal (Netflix).

Great coverage throughout the house and even get a strong signal outside on our deck

Did not boost our wi-fi signal, which is ridiculous for our 1500 square foot ranch house.

While the basement has an excellent signal, my second floor and bedroom off to one side of my house, had a very weak signal

There were some growing pains getting our wifi network setup right with optimal signal strength

However, the unit is effective if you don't need anything fancier than the antennas that it comes with, and the 3-colour light that tells you how good the signal is makes positioning the unit marginally easier (although you can--and you will want to--go into the device's webpage for more

While it has improved the signal, it is not nearly as strong as I would suspect

I hooked up this Netgear range extender, which was a simple task that took about fifteen minutes, and I now have a strong signal everywhere in my house and in my yard.

Worked fine for 2 weeks, now no signal

Worked great,i had a problem with my wifi, my smart tv which is in the back of the house , would always keep buffering when watching net flix.after installing the netgear box, I now get a strong signal and no more buffering

I had a fairly decent signal before and about 160 Mbps throughput.

I was not able to get a good enough signal improvement to use our Roku in the living room as a strictly wifi device

Needed to boost signal in part of our house and this did the trick really well

Also, it seems the device puts out a strong signal, but at any extended distance the noise level so high that no connection is possible

I hooked up my Apple TV to one of the five available ports and was instantly blown away by how much better the signal was

This one give me enough sigal to give me a 5g strong signal that reaches ro porch which is kind of far away from the router.

It even presents a strong signal outside the building through the steel wall

We previously dealt with a weak signal from Netgear N600; it was weak even if it said it was getting a strong signal, and it was unpredictable.

has no problem picking up signal and gives good coverage through my home which is a house trailer...setup was a breeze, the extender keeps my TV, ps3, tablet, media streaming player, 2 smart phones, my son's tablet and any visitor's phones connected to the internet while here

Eventually you will get the vertical bar icon to tell you how strong the signal is at your location between the router and dead spot

Overall, the signal extends but throughput deteriorates

It is only 65 feet (I measured it), cant even have a mediocre signal

If the extender is in the same room as the router it sort of works, but as soon as you move it out of the room, which by the way is whole point behind an extender, it looses signal.

I live in a larger apartment (by NYC standards) and was having trouble getting my Wifi signal to reach my bedroom - my router/modem are in th front end of my apartment (past a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living room - which is about 5 thick pre-war walls away)

I have to locate this unit on the 2nd floor so that my 3rd floor can access the wireless with decent signal with my actual router is on the 1st floor.

This allow her to get a clear strong signal.

Placed halfway between the (AC dual band) router and our family room, it has boosted the WiFi signal to our devices (TV, Blu-ray player, computers) from 40% (3 bars) to 100% (5 bars) and download speeds (on computers) from 13-20 Mbps to 70-90 Mbps using the FastLane mode (one band for data between router and extender, the other band for data between extender and devices)

Added this to a larger house to extend wireless signal and improve quality of the signal.

My neighbor is purchasing one of these now because she has a separate little guest house that she could never get a reliable signal to.

More important, it's easy to choose between my router's somewhat weak signal in parts of my home and the extender's strong signal since the extender provides a clearly identifiable label when connecting devices.

Great product, works perfect, signal covers the whole house (2 stories + basement)

The unit provided no benefit in range or throughput versus just using the R7000, e.g. the R7000 was twice the distance from the laptop and iOS clients as the EX6200 and the R7000 still had a stronger signal and higher throughput.

And it does kind of improve the signal (I got one more bar).If you live in a regular house with newer network gear, you may find that your results are much better

More important, it's easy to choose between my router's somewhat weak signal in parts of my home and the extender's strong signal since the extender provides a clearly identifiable label when connecting devices.

Works great--very strong signal throughout house, much stronger than original router signal over wider span

Works great--very strong signal throughout house, much stronger than original router signal over wider span

Netgear support told me that I could not expect to get a good signal beyond 80 feet if there was a two wall obstruction.

/Hulu at night the signal is weak and the streaming is frequently interrupted.

Pulls a signal well over line of sight

Our laptops & tablets would consistently lose the signal or lag

We previously dealt with a weak signal from Netgear N600; it was weak even if it said it was getting a strong signal, and it was unpredictable.

With R6400 modem in center of house, weak signal maxed out at ~12mbps

I am not able to receive a strong signal on the other side of the house from my AT&T Uverse router.

Amazingly easy to setup and fixed my problem of weak signals in the top floors of my house instantly

This extender works out great and I am able to get 5 bars good signal at my used to dead spot.

When all were on the same floor, the signal from the router to the TV was great

and I still pickup the WiFi signal -- pretty impressive.

I was hoping to use this Netgear AC1200 box to boost the wifi signal over to another building.

I lose the signal

I thought it would have a stronger signal than what it does

With the Netgear EX6200 placed midway between the Time Capsule and the bedroom, I have a good strong signal there

But when family circumstances changed and we had to move the router upstairs, the signal dwindled and all the associated problems at the TV--slow loading, buffering, low image quality--ensued

This one is between many walls and the router and still provides a strong signal over 50 feet away.

While the basement has an excellent signal, my second floor and bedroom off to one side of my house, had a very weak signal

so it's close enough to pick up a strong 5ghz signal from the router

Item has really improved wifi signal, so far all good.

On the down side this does not always provide the strongest signal and my devices seem to lose their connections more easily than before.

(weak signal problems started cropping up).

Good strong signal.

I have only experienced 2 minor wifi signal drops where both were immediately rectified by restarting the extender.

The extender gets a strong signal from my router, yet even with full bars the devices connected run noticeably slower than when connected to our router.

(this device).The key to success, I believe is that you have a reasonably good signal strength for wireless from your existing AP (the Access Point is the NetGear 6250 in my case)

I wanted to boost the signal from honestly didn't think it would do as well as it does

Seems to be broadcasting a very strong signal to my wife's computer at the other end of the house in her craft room

We had originally tried a no-antenna plug-in other name brand extender but didn't have a very strong signal, so we are very please with this Netgear AC1200 extender.

Significantly boosted wifi signal to my upstairs and finished back porch.

Good signal and strength

From my second floor front I can go out back ,downstairs and go about 150' in either direction without losing a signal.

The signal to my TV is now super strong and all is well once again

We have found that although the throughput of the extension is not nearly as good as the signal directly from the router, it isn't that bad, especially on the 5G extension

I have aluminum siding on the house which I believe limits any wifi signal to the outside, but the AC1200 is able to provide decent coverage outside

5G signal still worked good

Signal is strong but download speed is extremely slow for me

It improved my signal from one end of the house to the other

Verizon Network Extender (a WIFI device that boosts the cell signal since I live at the edge of a dead

So, for my fellow apartment dwellers - you know how hard it can be to get a good Wifi signal if your router is not placed in an ideal location, and even then it can be hit or miss

But if you have a smart device, it should log onto the strongest saved signal automatically.

I disconnected the range extender and now he has great signal strength.

In my case my nearest neighbor is over 300 yards away and since I have trouble connecting to the router from over 30 feet I don't worry much about security, but with the extender boosting the signal I think I should consider adding at least the basic level of security.

but the signal is still weak

The unit does provide a strong signal to the location I was shooting for.

My primary Netgear router literally has a better signal than this "extender"

Then once I found the perfect spot for the extender we have had nothing but very fast, strong wifi signal

There's a WiFi hotspot down the street from my house whose signal is strong enough that my laptop will connect, but only when I sit in the front window

Its a must have for spotty wifi signal in your home.

We were having trouble with a weak signal from our new Comcast Xfinity "gateway" (router/modem) in parts of our two-bedroom condo

Needed to get a strong WiFi signal to an external building which is 30 yards away but straight line without any objects between extender and building.

I find a location that gets a good signal at about the furthest point where I would be about to lose network coverage and put this device at that location.

Paired it with an R7000 via 5GHz FastLane, line of sight, excellent 5GHz signal

Prior to obtaining the extender, we had issues getting a good signal at the other end of the house

I was able to have this connect to the network and boost the signal without a problem

The range is also much better than my ISP's router&modem box and I can get a stable signal anywhere within the house now with its more optimal position in the house compared to the ISP box.

I get MUCH faster throughput and the wireless signal it

Very simple and effective solution to weak WiFi signal

I do not need to send a strong signal to my neighbors; this signal interferes with their Wifi network, too

My streaming devices now get great signals.

Very strong signal

My device automatically connects to this when I am close and its signal is stronger, but it will not connect back to the main wifi when it is stronger

I am now able to get a 5g, as well as a 2g signal from my bedroom with 4 to 5 bars, I would barely get 1 bar prior to purchasing this

So yes, it did improve the wifi signal, but not by a huge amount

So when I got mine in my new 3,000 square-foot two-story home and still had a really poor signal upstairs, you can imagine my disappointment

My ZTE Axon has a weak Wifi signal and has problems connecting and authenticating to the extenders

Great product, strong signal extender at 2G/5G. Setup was easy

I've used a number of different powerline adapters that also had Wi-Fi signal boosting on them, but I still couldn't get a good signal in my back yard.

It gave a good signal on the first floor

I am able to get a good, consistent signal even at the very edge of the house in the master bathroom

Kept losing the signal, returned it and replaced it with an Almond 2015 which as worked great.

I had to use a window on the end closest to the shop to get the job done the 1st time I tried an inner room and was unable to get enough signal

Tried it on a boat in a marina that was looking right at the WIFI Antenna from a distance of maybe 100' and although it said I had a strong signal, it was barely strong enough to check Email and not even close to streaming Netflix videos

Really weak signal

using the 5Ghz connect cleaned up and boosted the signal like nobodies business

Awful piece of equipement: not easy to install, app that does not help in any way, and rather than boost the WiFi signal it does opposite

At some point I will try relocating to the second floor to see if that provides the strongest signal.

Signal at that end of the house was weak.

I changed the rotation and orientation of the AC1200, and even raised it another 24 inches, and still had a poor signal upstairs

The signal to a room above the extender is "Good" at best, though usually only "Fair."

Plaus I can sit on the front porch and get a solid Wifi signal.

We got a decent signal about half the distance

I found that my signal on the dock actually got stronger when I oriented the unit horizontally rather than vertically as pictured here

When connected I get a strong signal on both units

That means not only a more reliable signal when streaming video over the internet, but also a higher resolution since the two are related.

In the end, I am using the TP-LINK Archer C7 AC1750 which has a good strong signal and range

Obviously, metal buildings will kill the signal, but I leave the door up when I am in the garage anyway, so it works perfectly.

I have had all sorts of problems with getting adequate signals throughout our house, and so I finally broke down and bought this router and an extender.

I have this installed in my 3 3 stall garage (closest wall maybe 25 feet from the house) so I can get a lan connection and stronger wifi signal in further areas of the garage where the house wifi doesn't reach

I can pick up a signal from a local hotel and this boosts the signal tremendously

The ac1200 gives me a strong signal across the house and on the patio

The signal is very strong

Strong signal

2.4ghz frequency much more suitable for long range, provided you have a strong signal to begin with

We now have a strong enough signal throughout the house and on the outdoor deck and patio to reliably stream video

Went outside the home to a distance closer to the actual router, and was able to receive a stronger signal from this extender.

I'd recommend it to anyone wishing to establish a consistent wifi signal at a distance from the router.

I decided to give this EX6200 a shot to see if I could get an even stronger signal due to having "700mw" amplifiers

I got interested on this extender because many reviews put it as one of the best but signal was not better than my Cisco N700 that I bought a few years ago.

It was not a strong signal and not a convenient place to use my devices

I do not need to send a strong signal to my neighbors; this signal interferes with their Wifi network, too

Increased my bandwidth and gave me a good strong signal.

This router keeps loosing the signal, and it's right next to the first wifi router!

With great signal levels (-55 dB) this drops connection to end-devices every few minutes.

The signal is strong all through the house, from end to end, with this extender

The person was from India and spoke with that rapid fire clipped English that I have difficulty understanding with a very clear signal.

Prior to obtaining the extender, we had issues getting a good signal at the other end of the house

Extremely easy setup, great features, and easy to add an outside external antenna (I bought a Hawkings) and I have turned a choppy, unreliable signal into strong and dependable

Always says its a great signal, yet it isnt????

Not as strong as I though it would be

well i

Excellent extender and super easy to install, This is my third one in 5 years and this one is most powerful and handles my 2G and 5G networks well.

The extended network shows up as two new SSIDs (MyNetwork_EXT and MyNetwork5G_EXT (if your router supports 5GHz)).

I am now able to get a 5g, as well as a 2g signal from my bedroom with 4 to 5 bars, I would barely get 1 bar prior to purchasing this

The 2G is often barely satisfactory and the 5G is inconsistent and almost nonexistent.

I have Time Warner and was recently upgraded to a new Model (Arris DG) with supposedly fancy new 5G. Long story short, I was having trouble streaming Netflix in HD using 5g (lots of buffering and/or defaulting to Standard Def instead of HD), something that had never been an issue with my old router

The 2G is often barely satisfactory and the 5G is inconsistent and almost nonexistent.

The 6200 2G works fine

Originally, I set this up the regular way and speeds did increase substantially on our 5g smartphones as well as on our Chromebooks

Is working as it should.

(I know what I'm doing) , and of course, it did work as it did the prior 3

Some of the reviews on this page seem to be on lesser products by netgear that don't work as

Unfortunately it didn't work as I expected it always needs to be restarted to work properly, but i give 3 stares for its coverage and easy to set up .

Sincerely recommend that when you see a NetGear product to ......run as fast as you can!

I elected to use the 2GHz band to communicate with the router as well as for routine internet usage while using the 5GHz band for streaming and online gaming

Normal 'net surfing appears to be just as rapid as over our existing WiFi

While it is true that many items are received at discounted rates or complimentary, my reviews are completely unbiased as well as honest and are my personal experiences and opinion of the product

Works as it is meant to.
