NETGEAR - Nighthawk AC1900 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender - White
- Key Specs
- Wi-Fi Speed: 1900.0 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
- Wireless Standard: AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 10000 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Form Factor: Plug-in (The size, arrangement, and physical configuration of the product.)
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Antenna Type: Internal
- Number of LAN Ports: 1 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- Number of PoE (Power over Ethernet) Ports: 1 (Allow connection of a single cable that provides both data connection and electrical power (Power over Ethernet).)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

- Quick start guide
A: It is not complicated to install but it is not as simple as just plugging it into an electrical outlet. If the intent of your decision to purchase this product is to extend the range of your primary WiFi network - you will need to know how to connect to your primary WiFi. E.g. SSID (Name of your network) and password. If you know how to connect your phone and other devices to your WiFi, you have the ability to set this extender up. The instructions will direct you to plug it into an electrical outlet near your current WiFi (usually built into your modem) and direct you to connect either a laptop or phone to the default SSID for the range extender via a URL. From there, you will go through a simple setup process that will connect the extender to your primary WiFi. When you are done, you can unplug the extender and plug it into a outlet that is approximately half the distance from the location you need better coverage in and it should turn on and automatically connect to your primary WiFi if you configured it correctly. However, while relatively easy to set up and less expensive, I would advise that you consider a mesh extender vs. a range extender like this one. The main reason that I recommend the mesh extender, which is more expensive, is that you do not have to switch back and forth with different SSIDs. For example, if your primary SSID is "ALPHA", this range extender could be configured with an "ALPHA-2GEXT" and a "ALPHA-5GEXT" (or other similar name) but it cannot be the exact same SSID as your primary WiFi. If you travel back and forth in your house with a device like your phone or laptop, you will have to switch to use the WiFi with the best signal in your home. With a mesh extender, the SSID remains the same name and you don't have to switch back and forth with different SSIDs in your home. If you can afford it - go with the mesh extender (also just as easy to set up).
A: Try unplugging the extender and the modem for a minute and then plug them in and check that he lights on the extender are working. Power fluctuations can cause your problem.
A: It creates a new SSID with the suffix "EXT" for extension. It is dual band so actually creates two new SSIDs - one for 2.5G and one for 5G.
A: Yes, this is compatible.
A: Yes. You can use the ethernet port to connect to your smart tv.
Q: would this work with wifi 6 router?
A: Hi wwwwwwwwwww, Yes but will not output wifi 6
A: My coverage using one greatly expanded. I would think using a second would achieve coverage you are looking for.
