Great product. Boosted our wifi signal significantly and was able to use the Ethernet port also. Fantastic.

facilidad para configurar

No es tan fácil de programar pero funciona y se ve bien.

2.4G and 5.6G signals were very weak on patio and deck .. the EX6250 boosted BOTH bands by at least 20dB !Unit is very easy to setup (as repeater using same SSID as main router) using the Netgear Nighthawk app ... BUT ... make sure to deactivate any existing extenders that you won't be using after the install (my first attempt boosted both signal bands, until I unplugged a small TPLink 2.4G unit used as a repeater, which caused problems with connections in that band. Second attempt (after hard resetting EX6250) was successful.Be patient during the setup .. it takes a few minutes for this extender to figure out your network configuration!Configuration has EX6250 about 20ft from router (thru 3 walls and highly metal populated utility room) and about 10ft to devices on patio and deck (with the 20dB signal improvement on both bands). Even the 5GHz signal is solid. Usual 2GHz wireless speed is about 80Mbps close to router .. am getting well over 40Mbps thru repeater (the 5GHz band is yielding 350Mbps via repeater!).While noting that this is an early review by a seasoned EE (time will tell), I see no indications of heat related impacts on circuit reliability (EX6250 surface temp is below 100deg F). Reviews indicating accelerated degradation in performance could be caused by other environmental factors (poor air circulation, electrical line surges and dips, and worst of all .. frequent power on/off events .. electronic devices don't like to be power cycled).The only downside .. so far .. is the amount of space this unit takes in a typical electrical outlet (I have it plugged into the upper outlet with barely enough room for a short 3 prong extension cord) . This is a tough design issue, since you need enough room below the unit to support the freestanding device with only the outlet as support (you could always use an extension cord to move the repeater out of the way of the outlet).One more note .. there's a lot of arguments made by network experts as to the advisability of using the same SSID as your main router. Be advised that the Nighthawk app sets up this EX6250 extender on the same SSID (this is a WiFi MESH extender) .. and uses the same physical RF channels for both bands. I, personally, prefer this setup to simplify device roaming connections .. and to be able to use common network resources (such as a central network drive used for general storage and video streaming) from anywhere in the house .. different extender SSID assignments will make this more difficult. Operational switchover in areas where the main router and EX6250 extender signal levels are similar is device dependent (some devices will switch over cleanly .. some will "hiccup") .. this is a function of each devices network chipset .. and the particular device drivers used.Bottom line .. after a lot of research for a capable extender that keeps my main SSID intact (on both bands) .. and avoids replacing a very nice TPLink router with an expensive mesh network setup ... the Netgear EX6250 is a perfect fit for ME!I used the "EX6250" identifier, repeatedly, throughout this review, since I have noted often confusing Amazon reviews that reference different product models ... unfairly impacting the reviews for the product model in question. There may be other WiFi extenders with setup, reliability and performance issues that have "cross-pollinated" with reviews for this device ... so take those reviews with a "grain of salt" (good, or bad reviews).

NETGEAR WiFi Mesh Range Extender EX6250Price as of 11/11/2020List Price: 119.99Discount Price I paid: $89.00_______________________________2.4Ghz is slower speed wifi but the signal travels farther5Ghz is faster speed wifi but the signal doesn't travel as far_______________________________My Goal:Extend my verizon fios router wifi signal for both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz to my entire NYC apartment.(Large apartment with many bedrooms, many walls, some of those walls are concrete)My Verison fios wifi router is on one end of my apartment and i need to boost the signal from that to the other end of the apartment._______________________________Currently:I have a Linksys wifi extender i bought years ago but it's too weak to boost both 2.4ghz & 5ghz to the other side of my apartment, it's not strong enough to penetrate all the walls.All the walls in my apartment eat up the wifi signal._______________________________New Setup:With this new Netgear wifi extender, i was able to remove my older wifi extender and i plugged this new Netgear wifi extender into an outlet on the other end of the apartment and now i get FULL BARS for both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz in the ENTIRE apartment!_______________________________The Netgear status shows me the signal strength the extender is picking up:2.4Ghz signal strength: 162Mbps5Ghz signal strength: 585Mbps_______________________________INSTALLATION (setup):(It comes with a paper instructions booklet plus the instructions are online)Google: EX6250The instructions are on the Netgear website.Very basic simple instructions.Connect to the netgear extender using a device that has wifi (i used a windows 10 PC), connect it to the netgear wifi extender and then in your web browser go enter this URL address:http://192.168.1.250(You should be able to do this same thing on a mobile phone or tablet)That will take you to the Netgear admin page where you can follow the steps to configure your device._______________________________Additional options:There is an ethernet port on the device if you want to hardwire an ethernet cable to the wifi extender to configure the admin settings and as another way to connect the wifi extender to your network.Fastlane option. From what i read, that will boost your 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz signal. You have to turn this option on and then you need to pick which signal to boost. You can only do one. So have to pick 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz. So if you only need 5Ghz then you can use fastlane on the 5Ghz and the 2.4Ghz will be turned off. And now your 5Ghz will be faster.NOTE:I would not use the "fastlane" option because Amazon Alexa smart plugs use 2.4Ghz. They won't work with 5Ghz unless you can find ones that do.There is a 1 button quick setup. (WPS) but i don't use that. That basically lets you configure your home router so that if you press the WPS button on two devices (router and wifi extender). They will quickly sync together (quick setup) but you need to have that WPS option on your home router for it to work and that option needs to be enabled to allow it.NOTE:I don't use that because that will also allow anyone to walk over to your router and connect themselves to your network without needing any passwords. (bad security)Access point option. I don't plan to use that option. The wifi extender has a ethernet port on it, for the access point to work you need to use an ethernet cable and connect your router and this wifi extender together. I'm not 100% sure what the access point would be good for because the wifi extender option works really well. It's all you really need.I don't know much about how that access point would work or how you should or could use it so i wont comment much on that.In the end i ended up using the Ethernet port on the WIFI Extender to connect an ethernet cable from the WIFI Extender to my Roku.Another good option, buy a small 8 or less port Ethernet Hub. Connect an Ethernet cable from the WIFI extender into the Hub. Now you can connect devices with an Ethernet cable (laptop, ethernet printer, etc), directly to the WIFI extender (assuming you need / want a wired connection)The only reason to do this? Possibly a more stable internet connection? If all else fails. Try that._______________________________CONCLUSION:This Netgear wifi extender is POWERFUL while being very compact. No external antennas required. Looks very clean when installed into a wall outlet. If you install at the top outlet, the bottom outlet will NOT be blocked.I highly recommend buying it. A little pricey but it works well! Now it may be overkill if your apartment is very tiny. But if you have a ton of bedrooms with lots of walls & weak wifi signal. This should easily fix it.If you have a big home especially with a big backyard and you currently have a weak signal. This might also be useful to cover a huge range and get wifi across your whole home and yard.BUT check the specs first. The specs show the range it covers. It looks like you can connect two of these wifi extenders together if you need a bigger range but start with only 1 because it works so well you might only need 1.
