    Mesh systems work great if you have one device

    This system was a total failure. In fact, my antiquated Belkin extender works significantly better. I set up the X6S both as a one name seamless mesh system, and after that failed to work effectively due to a poor search and resolve process (X6S couldn't hold a signal consistently when a device could easily "see" both the main router and the X6S), a stand alone extender, which failed to provide even the most basic secure connection for any length of time. And yes, I did follow every instruction and procedure exactly.

    Might be good to extend your signal if you already have a Netgear Nighthawk Mesh Router, but I only had a Spectrum Router & it did not work with it. Both Best Buy & Geek Squad are excellent by the way. This product just did not work with my set up.

    If you are looking for an AP or a Mesh extender for your Netgear router-keep looking. The BestBuy rep said "Don't get this as most people bring it back". Well, 6 months in and mine has "bricked". The power light is red and the white status lights are blinking. I looked this up and it is a hardware failure. I can't take it back to BestBuy and NetGear won't return my calls, so into the trash it goes.
