This is the most user unfriendly product I’ve ever owned. This video, while helpful, still doesn’t explain why I’m having issues. I’m literally about to return this product. Good luck trying to find a support number to call.

*First unbox your extender*

Oh, I didn't know that you had to unbox the extender. Thank you for reminding me.

Once I link the extender with the router via WPS both of them in the same room, it doesn't work as shown in the video, to just unplug the extender and plug it back somewhere farther and I didn't understand why it wasn't working, you have to relink it with WPS once you move the extender at your farther distance

For all of those asking about the on/ off & WPS lights ... I understand, but there is a solution. In doing everything according to the video I experienced a lot of what I thought were technical difficulties. In most cases when dealing with the on/off lights & WPS light it takes a bit of time for them to properly function. After all the patience tho you should be able to have a good WiFi extension. Give it like a good 2-3 minute wait for the lights to turn green (or red) then proceed to the next step.

So I don’t think I followed it properly I accidentally boiled my grandma

Thank you for your help I called NetGear today after not using my wall-plug WiFi range extender. for over a year I have recently moved home and needed to extend my wifi throughout the property as it would not reach my daughter's bedroom. Annoyingly I called NETGEAR three times the first time I was unable to read the small print on my serial number required for getting any assistance or help. the second time I called to complain but the advisor suggested I take a photo and blow it up to read which I did. Then the call was gut off by NetGear. I called back again only because I had forgotten how to set up the Wifi range extender as I wanted to connect to a new wifi network. I was told I could get support for £99 pounds. This made no sense as the actual NETGEAR product only cost me £25 pounds new.

The only reason I was calling was to find out how I could reconnect my extender to a new network after I had not used it for two years. why would I pay £99:00p to get the instructions for a unit that cost me £25:00p new, when I could simply go out and by another unit for approximately £30:00 with a new set of instructions? it makes no sense and after watching the above video I was able to reconnect my extender to a new WiFi Network myself. NETGEAR Needs to rethink its policy and support I'm not happy and will not buy Netgear again in future.

I purchased the EX6150v2 — AC1200 WiFi Mesh Extender in June of 2019 for the house I was living in for college, but I recently moved back home. It worked great and was easy to setup in college but I just can't get it to work again. I followed the instructions and was able to get to the stage where it asks you to sign into mywifiext and creates the new wifi option. Everytime I sign in it says it can't connect to the router. I've also tried switching it back and forth from access point and extender and both won't work.

it worked …… actually it's pretty simple once you do it rite, THANK YOU VERY MUCH :))) FIRST I plugged my Netgear upside down haha pay attention to that..also make sure your router's Wi-Fi password is correct once you type it in again while connecting your device/tv So it was ONLY 3 clicks away, Power ON (on netgear) then WPS ON on Router, push for 2 sec until it starts blinking then WPS ON on Netgear, they find each other in no time :) then connect whatever is close to it … DONE

Idk why so many negative comments. I just bought one today and it works like a charm. Now i have full signal in my back yard.

[yeshuas_follower]

Absolutely LOVE this product! We could hardly get connected upstairs since we went to SKY fibre...we kept getting kicked off net, got this wee extender for £14 from Amazon and now have maximum signal upstairs! Sky hubs are the pits.

Can I use my wifi extender without a router on my ps4. With my phone hotspot

[blockmasterscott]

This video saved me. Who ever made it needs a raise.

[luca]

I’m in the dorms on base and don’t have access to my router but want better internet. Is there a way to connect a wifi extended without access to the router?

[michalszarka]

Can you unplug and then again plug in the device? Will tuning on and off not mess up with settings? Or it´s best to keep its best to keep on all the time?

[LittleLadyk]

Can you ads wireless cameras directly to this? If so does it add any extra security by any chance? Or no?

[amyokoh]

Just connected to my bedroom 2 minutes ago and I was amazed .The WiFi connection became full wow .am so happy right now. Let see how long it will last.

[kylejames]

Can this product be used if you have a communal wifi that you dont have access to the router?

IE can you set this up without touching the router?
