We take a dive into the EX6200 from Netgear, a full-sized 802.11ac AC1200 wireless extender for those that want top-notch performance. Let's take a look.

I have a TV on Rabbit ears in an upstairs bedroom that I have a Amazon Fire stick hooked up to. I read a Crutchfield article on Extenders where they downloaded an app to measure signal strength before and after installing this Extender.

Easy hook up; 100% strength on the second floor

I have had Netgear equipment in the past and had no problems. Bought a Netgear range extender last week. Haven't been able to get it to work. In order to get tech support you have to register your device.

First, it took me nearly three hours to troubleshoot this product as it was not responding consistent with what was found in the instructions. First off, if you employ ANY of the following for higher security on your wireless network I recommend avoiding this product: MAC address ACL list filtering...

This product did not do what the seller promised. They said the range it would be extended was 900 Ft. on the box it said 100 meters whitch is 330 Ft I am trying to reach my Mothers house which is 110 Ft from my house it won't even reach that far.

I had no problems with setting up the extender with my cable company's provided router. I now have full access through out the house.

The Netgear EX6200 is a pricey, £84.99, Wi-Fi extender taht claims up to AC1200 speeds, much like the Linksys RE6500. Like that model it's a larger format extender with a separate power supply and larger, router-like housing. In fact, the housing isn't just large, it's massive!

Before starting our review we knew that our current location would provide a very tough test for anything wireless and that we may not see speeds...

Good Value; Easy to setup and install; Good wireless range

Poor speeds; Confusing 'Fastlane' options; Requires initial setup again when changing modes

I bought this range extender with expectations that were guided by previous so-called wi-fi solutions; hard to set up and once working, dodgy reliability. How wrong I was! I set this thing up in 5 minutes flat using the easy to follow on screen guide.

Purchased this item to improve my reception from barn cameras. Tried using as a link half way to the barn but even with yagis I could not get better reception on 5ghz. Replaced existing router in the barn with this unit and have a solid connection to my cameras on 5ghz at over 500ft.
