    Good product, Easy to set up but lacks power. Idefinitely recommend getting a mesh system instead.

    I have a 4200 square foot house and about 30 products connected to my router which is the best Netgear router they offer. I also buy the 400gb plan from Spectrum yet parts of the house I could not get any wifi. Netgear recommended this product and there is a better one but this one was recommended. It does work so I am getting wifi in places I didn't, it unfortunately is very slow. It took about 30 minutes to set up, not because it was hard, but because you have to find the right spot in your house. Which of course is now an eye sore that my wife hates, but it was the best spot I could find.

    NETGEAR WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender (EAX20), was exactly what I needed. I had recently started a work from home position that needed a hard wire connect. The mesh extender provided me with simple low cost option that works well with my current internet provider. Through the app there were clear instructions on how to set up and activate the product.

    I ordered the Netgear EAX20 to extend my WiFi signal……I have a 8 port network switch of which I didn’t want to run rj45 cable up the wall to my router…instead I connected everything to my Netgear WI-FI 6 extender……Now my five systems has a smooth and fast WI-FI signal…. Thank you Netgear.

    Once the software problem and the apps issue were fixed—all good. The unit delivers from day one on the patch plugs it comes with. The WiFI set up was a nightmare until we hit with the proper tech *weeks in the making at Netgear. He made the solution easy —use a PC and not the app based programs.

    This extender seems to be working fine. I'm able to increase the download & upload speeds of the property I own next door. The only bad thing is that the Netgear App "Night Hawk" doesn't work any more.

    Easy, step by step process to set up - just follow the quick start guide. It gave new life to my outdoor security cameras, my smart plugs, fire sticks, and devices that were furthest away from my primary router. I use xfinity internet, there’s no issues with connecting this extender to my XFi router.

    We have this approximately 25 feet from our main router. The signal strength never seems to be very high and it tends to loss connection twice a month. We use it to stream movies on a tv using Roku.

    This is an extender and mesh platform. It is more expensive than standard extenders, but it has some horsepower of its own. In an old Coral Gables House, in an addition, this router took 18 Mbps. and turned it into 88 Mbps. Good job.

    I’ve used other brand wifi extenders and they don’t compare. I don’t have service where I live so when I go outside, if someone is trying to text me, I won’t get it. With the net gear extender, I have wifi down at my garage(for reference the garage is probably 800 or more feet from my house), none of the other extenders I’ve used have done that. I’m very happy with my purchase.

    I was looking for a Wi-Fi router to expand my wireless network into my shop. This works very well. Set up was easy and no issues at all. Highly recommend for expanding a Wi-Fi network.

    Ad hoc mesh for your existing router

    I used to use an older Nighthawk router as an access point. This was very clunky, as devices would connect to the first router they could, then hold on for dear life and refuse to connect to the other router as you moved around the house. With this, the access point acts more like a proper mesh system. As I move around the house, devices connect to either the main router or this device as needed, depending on which has the stronger signal. Caveat 1: I am using this with a Nighthawk router, so I have no idea how well this plays with other routers from other companies. Caveat 2: if at all possible, connect this to your existing router using an ethernet cable. As with all range extenders, if you connect to the main router over WiFi, any devices connecting to this will generate twice the traffic (each packet gets broadcast on the network twice to make it to the main router). Depending on what you have going on in your network, this could halve throughput if you don't connect via ethernet. This is true of all range extenders. I would definitely recommend this if your existing router is a Netgear Nighthawk. I have no idea how good or bad this device is with other routers.

    I purchased this to extend my wifi coverage. It worked as advertised and I didn't notice any devices being dropped. If you are looking for an extender I would recommend it due to its low cost. However, I would look at a new mesh system first unless cost is a factor. I bought a new ASUS router and it works great without the need of this extender any more.
