NETGEAR WiFi Mesh Range Extender EX8000 - Coverage up to 2500 sq.ft. and 50 Devices with AC3000 Tri-Band Wireless Signal Booster & Repeater (Up to 3000 Mbps Speed), Plus Mesh Smart Roaming

UPDATE: I've been using this for almost two weeks now with absolutely no issues. It continues to do exactly what it claims to be able to do. Awesome! I have a Nighthawk X4S AC2600 Smart WiFi Router Model R7800 that I've had for awhile now and it's connected to AT&T's provided ARRIS BGW210-700 modem. My 2500 SqFt two story home was built back in 2007 with a sort of central box where all the wires come in and go from which happens to be located upstairs at the very front of the house in our walk in closet. This has not been the greatest place to have a wireless router, in fact it's been terrible! Recently AT&T was finally able to send greater speeds through our fiber optic lines in our area so we went back to them and bumped our speed up to 300Mbps. Well almost immediately we were suffering with very low speeds down stairs, on the sides and the back of our home. We were consistently only getting speeds from 1 to 28Mbps...seriously. Everything was lagging or not connecting at all. I'm fairly good when it comes to getting everything hooked up but I fall short when it comes to solving these problems. Several times I almost called out a service tech to try and troubleshoot it but I didn't want to spend the money to find out it was something simple. My research led to trying a whole house mesh type product but I didn't want to fork out the dough for a bunch of extenders all over the house just in case it wasn't needed. Finally I came across this device here on amazon and it's was on sale and had great reviews. I liked that it's a Netgear product and should connect seamlessly to and truly become an extension of my existing router. I wouldn't even have to manually reconnect everything to it or change passwords, etc. Well no lie, I took it out of the box, walked it upstairs and plugged it in to power next to my Nighthawk router. The quick start instructions were very simple explaining to hit the WPS button on the extender and then on the router...within minutes it connected to the 2.4Ghz signal. Then I repeated the same process to connect it to the 5Ghz signal which again only took a couple of minutes. After that was done and all the lights were lit properly I walked it downstairs and plugged it in to a central location in the living room on a faux fireplace mantle. Within a couple of minutes all the lights came on and showed all was connected properly. I then sat down and ran my usual test Googleing 'speed test' from my favorite chair in the living room where I have been consistently getting those awful slow speeds. WHAT?! See the attached image with the white background of the test results. I almost wanted to cry tears of joy! I am finally getting pretty darn close to the speeds that my router is getting from the modem (see black background speed test from the router)! And this is with having 25-35 devices being connected...outdoor and indoor security cameras, multiple iphones, ipads, a few video game consoles, 3 apple tv devices, a couple of smart tvs, 5 computers, a couple of Amazon Alexa devices, multiple guest devices and so on and so on. Now I know this is my set up and my experience. A lot of people have different modems and routers from different manufacturer's even and I can't speak to how this will work with them, but I can honestly say this was worth every penny and the slow speed/terrible signal thing is a thing of the past! Woohoo!!

This WiFi Mesh Extender increased Internet speeds 70% with no signal dropping or slowing down. No more slow circles when streaming! The problem: My modem & router (Spectrum) located in my office and computer gets 116-118 Mbps download and 11-12 Mbps upload. Single story home with 1,500 sq. ft. I couldn't get any more than 20-28 Mbps download and 8-9 Mbps upload on any of my devices in my living room or bedroom (farthest from Router) using a plug-in extenders and would drop signal sort of ruining the streaming experience. Extreme frustration!!!! With the NETGEAR Nighthawk Mesh X6S Tri-Band WiFi Mesh Extender I now get an average 117 Mbps download and 12 Mbps upload on ALL my devices even in the farthest "dead zone". I even went outside to the farthest corner of my lot (about 80 feet from the Netgear extender) and still got 112 Mbps download on my Samsung Note 8. The unit was easy to install (even for this 75-year old), and being able to use the same access point name a real plus. I installed it eight days ago and the speed and performance have been flawless. It looks sleek and modern and I like that the antennae are inside the unit. While it seemed a bit pricey at first, it's sure less expensive than the other mesh systems I looked at. For me it is worth every penny! I did download the User Manual from the Netgear website before I ordered - be sure to use the model number shown above (the one here on the Amazon site is for a different model-??) There is a wealth of information and help onsite as well. I couldn't be happier with this amazing extender. Highly recommend!

When I received my Netgear EX8000 I set it up. Setting up wireless network devices has become very easy so, it only took a few minutes. It did just what you'd expect a range extender should. The range was better than I expected and covered a wider area than other extenders I've used or setup for clients. Just shy of 2 months I noticed a massive drop in signal strength. When I went to look at the EX8000 I noticed that every light was flashing green simultaneously. I then tried connecting a computer up to it via a wired connection to reboot it through the interface. The page wouldn't load up. I then tried pressing the reset button which did nothing (not even a single change in how the lights flashed). As a last resort, I unplugged it for over a minute and plugged it back in. I came back 5 minutes later and all the lights were still flashing green. I then left it unplugged overnight and plugged it back in. This time I watched the lights for a good 7 minutes. Not once did the lights change from their flashing pattern. After trying various things over the next few days it was apparent that the EX8000 was "bricked". It seems very odd for a device that has been on the market as long as the EX8000 has to go out after less than 2 months. It was kept in an area that maintained a 78 degree (Fahrenheit) temperature with plenty of room around it. This experience has left me reconsidering recommending Netgear to even my client's home networking needs. One should get years, not months of use out of any equipment. In all my years of working on computers, upgrades have only been required for faster more capable equipment. I have a lot of old equipment that is 10 to 20 years old that still work for many clients who have less demanding needs. I've heard of disposable equipment, but this is ridiculous!

Tan bueno como el EX6200 que puse en uso en otro lugar. Aún no me acostumbro a que esta nueva unidad escoge la banda de comunicación or mi, pero funciona excelentemente bien.

Muy bueno y extremadamente sencillo de configurar

No me gusta el producto, después de mucho tiempo de tenerlo presenta muchas fallas con internet, es inestable, tuve que comprar otro dispositivo que sí funciona. La aplicación de soporte en el celular es muy mala. Calidad precio no es buena.

No he logrado identificar la razon, pero de vez en vez sin razon aparente se desconecta y pierde señal

No es un producto "plug and play" como indica, requiere ajustes en la configuracion del módem y del extensor para mantener una conexión estable. La applicacion es practicamente inútil en la configuration inicial, todo lo tuve que hacer por cable para completar el proceso. La conexión es veloz y tiene buen alcance pero occasionalmente se desconecta del módem principal y hay que reiniciar. Muy decepcionado por que es un equipo caro y resultó bastante inestable, esperaba más de esta marca, pero hasta los equipos más sencillos de TP-Link o inclusive Steren son más funcionales y estables.
