This review is on Netgear EX6110 WiFi Range Extender. I managed to get myself one of this after waiting for few weeks for the product to become available. As many have already written before me in their reviews...a WiFi range extender such as this one is meant to only extend WiFi signal from your existing internet (cable/broadband/fiber) router to areas where there is little to no signal from the main router. Extenders do not enhance or improve internet speed. I am writing this review after 10 days of use. So, what's up with this one?There is/was a tremendous demand for WiFi extenders in the market since the Covid outbreak and people were forced to work from their homes. People wanted mobility and did not want to get glued to one place on their gruesome 8-12 hours work shift and many found their existing WiFi signal wasn't good enough to reach their new home office spot. Netgear EX6110 is a good product that well supports the purpose that it was designed for. It supports Dual band (i.e. both 2.4 and 5GHz bands), can handle up to 1.2Gbps of internet speed and a wider sq ft coverage area but technical reality may be less. I am using this extender to extend my current WiFi reach to additional 2 rooms at the extreme end of my 1500 sq.ft home. I have plugged in the extender almost 3/4th the distance between my router which is sitting on one end of my home and the two rooms where I want the coverage. Even though, the extender is not in direct line of sight from the router but I still do get a good signal from the router 98% of the time. Setup was a breeze and no advanced technical qualification was required to handle the installation. Two simple ways of installation are provided and I have tried both. Netgear recommends WPS method. I am happy with the extended signal but not 100% happy since the drop in internet speed is about 60% in the new areas covered by the extender...connected device is about 23 feet from the extender with no major obstructions such as a concrete wall or door. Extender takes a few seconds to stabilize the connection with the new device beyond a certain distance but once it settles down there weren't much issues till now. 5GHz on your router configured to Auto DFS channel may cause some connection issues with the extender since it expects channels to be in 36-48 or 141-168. I had to reconfigure my router 5GHz channel to 48 to get a more stable connection between the devices. With 2.4 GHz no issues it stays on Auto DFS. You've the option to extend both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands or use one of these as the input and use the other as output which Netgear calls as FastLane Technology. FastLane allows you to set up a more stable and hi-speed connection for your devices with minimal interference since you're dedicating bands for input and output. Extender gets slightly warm after 4-5 hours of use but there is a air vent on the top to dissipate the heat...so no worries on that front. There are indicator lights on the extender which conveys its status and feelings. Overall, I feel it's a good product to support our need for WiFi coverage in dead zones in this current WFH situation.

My main access point/wifi router (Dual Band) is at ground floor and I wasn't able to get proper signal strength at 1st floor. 5Ghz wasn't even detectable at 1st floor.Hence I purchased this extender, which has solved the problem excellently.Approx Location of this extender (First Floor) is almost above the Wifi Router (ground floor). I am able to get Best connection, which can be identified by glowing green LED named as "Router" on Extender.I am able to get full speed for both bands, at each and every corner of my first floor which should be approx 1000 sq.ft.I have 50MBPS plan, At ground floor I get approx 44-45 MBPS speed and using extender, I get 40MBPS speed (5Ghz band) at first floor. Earlier I used to get 8-12MBPS without extender at 1st floor. Only 1 or 2 signal point strength in mobile/laptop earlier.Setup is a child's play, just press WPS button on extender and then on your Wifi router. Repeat again same step after WPS LED stops blinking on extender to setup 5Ghz. Just follow the manual, nothing difficult.People complaining about configuration have some mental issue or they can't understand simple english.2 biggest advantages of this extender is1: It is very compact & stylish and doesn't have any external antennas.2nd: It is not a Chinese brand and not made in China. I try not to buy chinese products thinking about our soldiers stationed at -30degs in Himalayas against the Chinese.
