Customer Ratings & Reviews

A powerful, discreet WiFi 6 mesh extender best suited for NETGEAR Orbi/Nighthawk systems. Pros: Fast & Stable: Strong AX1600 speeds eliminate dead zones for streaming and gaming. True Mesh: Seamless roaming when paired with compatible NETGEAR systems. Compact Design: Plugs directly into outlet without blocking second socket. Future-Proof: WiFi 6 with OFDMA handles multiple devices well. Cons: Pricey: Premium cost over basic extenders. Setup Can Be Finicky: App-based configuration isn't always smooth. Gets Warm during heavy use (typical for plug-in designs). Verdict: An excellent, high-performance extender for NETGEAR mesh users. Great for future-proofing, but overkill for simple, budget-friendly coverage needs.

I recently switched from cable internet to fiber-optic. I needed to boost the WiFi signal from the modem/router to the upstairs portion of my home. I researched a variety of Mesh Extenders and found the NETGEAR AX1600 WiFi 6 Mesh Extender to be rated the best of the best. So, I bought it. It has exceeded my expectations from the ease of setting it up and marrying it to my new internet modem/router to the exceptional signal strength it creates to the upstairs portion of my home wheee before hand I had little to no signal at all. I highly recommend to anyone who needs a WiFi extender to purchase this NETGEAR AX1600. It will pay for itself in just a few months and pay dividends afterwards by not having to pay a monthly rental fee to your Internet provider in perpetuity.

It's a bit pricey, but seems this is what you pay for this level of name-brand tech these days. Super simple set up with Nighthawk app, seamless integration with ATT fiber router and app. I am not particularly IT savvy, so that's all a relief. Powerful signal boost where desired, and also in some unexpected places.

very annoying to set up due to the nighthawk app being slow and confusing but overall works well

Loved how easy it was to set up. Great internet converage.

Wonderful product works better than I thought. The speed is great

My daughter was having trouble with her WiFi reaching a smart device, so an extender seemed to be the solution. I did some research and found this Netgear mesh model that looked promising. It was easy to hook up and uses the same network name which is nice. This resolved her WiFi coverage and she’s very happy!

Honestly I had low expectations based on conversations with a rep in the store. Surprisingly this item solved my wifi problem for a external Ring camera outside at my father’s house. Super easy set up and great performance for us. I highly recommend

Would give 5 stars but sometimes it disconnects from my tv which is the whole reason why I bought it. 90% of the time it works great though.

This has really been a great experience using this to be able to watch TV. It has helped to keep my WiFi connected. It was very easy to install too. It took about 10 minutes to connect. Very pleased with this.

Works well. Needed an extender to connect our cell service extender to. Does the job. A little challenge to set up. Netgear’s support was able to get it going.

Have two extenders this being one of them. It was a little kore difficult to set up two in the same house but i was able to figure it out so im sure others will he able to too. Does exactly what i need faster service for my gaming systems in different parts of my house with is 2 stories and a basement. Probably will upgrade to mesh networks down the line once i finish badement remidel but well see how service works when that happens. Netgear is been my good to and continues to work for me and my households needs

We just opened our new store last week and the Wi-Fi at the front of the store was awful. After buying this extender and installing it, the Wi-Fi now works great! Simple to install and simple to get ready to use, we highly recommend this item!

Easy to use and set up. Has provided a reliable signal for extending my WiFi home network. Would recommend and buy again.

Love it! Helps tremendously with the wifi router being on the complete opposite side of the house.

Love this thing, took a couple mi utes to set up but i havent lost the internet anywhere inthis house since. Definitely recommrnd

made things work jus that much better from upstairs to down.

The extender really helped our TV. Not 100% better but a much better

Works for my needs, it did require more tech knowledge then i was told at the store but that was not a problem.

I purchased the Netgear EAX12 AX1600 primarily to provide a wired connection for my PC. With limited options for a wired connection from my original WiFi router, this extender proved to be a reliable solution. The setup was straightforward, and the wired Ethernet port offers a stable and fast connection. While the 1Gbps wired output didn't significantly impact my internet speed, it certainly provides a reliable connection for my PC. Overall, the AX1600 is a great choice for those seeking to extend their WiFi range and provide a wired connection.
