\n\"NETGEAR_Ambassador_150x150\"
\nLast month, as a NETGEAR Ambassador, I got to test the NETGEAR Wi-Fi Range Extender<\/a>\"\" (AC750 \/ EX6100). The name of the device pretty much explains itself – it extends your current WiFi network. That\u2019s especially useful when you have a rather large house or, for example, when walls inside your home make the signal weaker than it should be.<\/p>\n

Setting up the device is quite simple. You may need to take out 10 minutes or so, but the steps are very clear. You can make multiple profiles, so that when you come home from a hotel stay you do not need to setup the device again.<\/p>\n

Using the\u00a0NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender at\u00a0Home<\/h3>\n

As mentioned earlier, the extender is great when you have a large house. I do not, so it does not make sense to extend the wireless signal I have. I did find another way of using this device though. My apartment was built in the late ’90s, so it has network outlets in all the rooms. Turns out all the outlets work, except where I want it to. That\u2019s the room where my printer is.<\/p>\n

We primarily use laptops in the living room but the printer is in our bedroom. So, wireless printing is way more convenient than walking back and forth plugging in a USB cable. The NETGEAR extender happens to have a network outlet as well. So, I am now using the extender to connect to the wireless router I got from my internet provider and make a wired connecting my printer to the extender.<\/p>\n

\"NETGEAR<\/p>\n

Using the\u00a0NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender on the Road<\/h3>\n

There are other applications as well. One is that you can take it with you on a trip and extend the WiFi network provided by the hotel you\u2019re staying at. I first tested this through a guest network broadcasted by a large game console company near where I live. Connecting directly to the guest network gave me download speeds of up to 1 Gbit. So what happened after I connected through the extender? The download speed increased to a whopping 4 Gbit!<\/p>\n

For some strange reason I wasn\u2019t able to repeat that at an actual hotel. I tried at two different hotels. The extender connected to the hotel network, but I had no internet. Maybe it had to do with the login page some public WiFi networks make you go through first. Or, maybe, they just don’t like extenders because some hotels like to charge per device and the extender would evade that? I still haven\u2019t figured that situation out yet.<\/p>\n

NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender\u00a0Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n

This little device is packed with the latest speed specs.\u00a0It can handle the newer 5 GHz frequency. That\u2019s good because most neighborhoods are full of WiFi-enabled devices using the same channel, making it more prone to subpar internet performance. Plus, if you just got a new laptop you’ll be happy to know that it also supports 802.11ac. I am amazed with what this little device can do!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s bummer that I could not test the NETGEAR Wi-Fi Range Extender<\/a>\u00a0in the hotel, but I am full of \u2018extended\u2019 happiness that I\u2019m now able to wirelessly use my printer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
