This video show you how to setup NETGEAR WiFi extender AC1200, Model NETGEAR EX6150 with review. This WiFi Repeater and WiFi Range Extender setup/install is done in detailed steps. You can extend you work from home wifi out to all areas of your house and eliminate those wifi dead spots. Even get the a wifi signal outside on your patio with the NETGEAR AC1200 extender. The NETGEAR extender setup allows you to connect the wifi repeater up as a wireless connection or AP Access Point via Ethernet cable to your primary wifi router/modem. This NETGEAR repeater can be setup in a few minutes so you can get a extended wifi signal out to those areas in your house where you want more gaming FPS or a better wifi connection for office work at home. Get faster wifi and faster internet where you need it with the NETGEAR wifi extender AC1200 with wifi antenna boosters.
The best way to extend wifi is by using a wifi extender that repeats your wifi signal to a greater distance like the NETGEAR AC1200 wifi range extender AC1200. It's like having a wifi amplifier so you can get more wifi bars and stonger signals at greater distances from your wifi router.
Some important things to remember are:
1) If your WiFi repeater is to close to your main router, they will compete against each other's signal since they are both on the same WiFi channel, 1,6, or 11. So you must distance the WiFi extender far enough away to so the channels don't overlap each other. This will only slow down your LAN/WLAN. Hence, defeating your reason for installing a Wireless-n WiFi repeater to begin with!
2) I believe in surge protectors. Put your wireless repeater on one. Protect it against power outages and AC surges. You might just call it network or electronic insurance, just like car insurance or auto insurance for your box. Don't let the power company kill your new WiFi repeater extender during the night or day when you are not home.
3) Set up can be done by a laptop, computer desktop/tower, tablet or cell phone with WiFi connectivity with an Internet Browser. But it can also be done by a hard wired RJ45 LAN cable too. See my last note for instructions on how to use a RJ45 cable for setup.
4) Don't allow yourself into thinking that this is a WiFi router. A WiFi repeater router, a network WiFi repeater extender are two entirely different dogs. A router routes internet information and the other extends and/or repeats the information on a network that a router routes from the Internet out onto your network. Think of this device more as a WiFi range extender. Some times it's also refer to as a router range extender, a repeater extender, wifi booster extender or wireless router extender. But they all just repeat your wireless signal halfway between your wifi router and where you want to set up shop. How to Expand Your Wireless Range across your house or yard using this cheap made in China no name no brand Wireless repeater for all your computer devices including cell phones.
Here are my thoughts and review about this WiFi repeater from NETGEAR:
1) It feels and looks solid and well built.
2) It's an Easy WiFi Extender to install and setup.
3) The signal strength is strong and constant. Normally get 3 to 5
WiFi bars on this WiFi repeater when placed mid way between the main home WiFi router and the WiFi laptop, desktop, tablet, Play Station, mobile phone and wireless devices.
4) The NETGEAR AC1200 range extender EX6150 was price below $100.00.
5) The display LED lights on this wireless repeater are bright, clear and easy to read.
6) No over heating issues. Barely gets hot.
7) Is this a excellent and best wifi extender for gaming with improved FPS? Yes!
8) Does it eliminate Wi-Fi Dead Zones? Yes.
9) Do I like it? Yes! Would I buy it again? Yes!
Keep in mind that this NETGEAR Repeater works with all NETGEAR WiFi routers and mostly all other brands of WiFi routers too.

Thank you so much for making this video! It was a great help. I got the Wi-Fi extender off of Amazon and the manual gave the wrong web address to type in once I connected to the extender network. That was the one piece that was missing I could not figure out. So now my Wi-Fi extender is all set up and I'm flying! Thank you again!

Can you do a video using the app. The AC1200 only comes with a little card that tells you to follow the app for installation. Warning to all I had to update my Netgear router software before I could connect the Netgear extender. I think it ends up using the same network name as your router. I do not see "_EXT" anywhere? Also, on the app it says the my R7000 (router) is "connected locally" and 2nd listing the R7000 is "connected via Anywhere Access" - if I tap on the 3 dots it asks if I want to "remove device"

When I set up my Netgear extender up, I didn't use the Netgear website. I used the AT&T setup. All I did was pressed the WPS on my modem and on the extender and they connected.

With any extender you will need to test best placement location until you find the best sweet spot somewhere mid way between your Primary Router and your Wifi device connecting to the extender. This will give you the best consistently solid speed and strongest signal quality from the extender to your wifi device.

@nickscomputerfix
@nickscomputerfix 9 месяцев назад
Yes, as long as the extender is connecting to a 2.4 GHz to 2.4GHz or 5GHz to 5Hz and is using the same or supports same encryption protocol. Not all hotspots will be compatible because of new emerging WiFi encryption standards. So it might be hit or miss.

Extender location is the primary key to getting the best signal quality and most distance out of any extender not just this one. You might experience interference problems, cut offs, signal drops, or no/lost signal, for example: thick walls or floors, other electronic equipment or extender might be to far away from router...etc. Test until you find the best sweet spot somewhere mid way between your Primary Router and your Wifi device connecting to the extender.

Thanks, Nick. I just did a walk around tracking signal strength. As soon as I walk into my room the signal goes from 30.4 Mbps to 0.47 Mbps. I also cross under the main HVAC ducts as I enter the room. The signal is being blocked by the ductwork ... I think. Going to order the extender right now.

Suggestions: 1) You most likely will need to perform a repeater reset by using the RESET button (press and hold for a REAL 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet and power is on, then release the RESET button and go through the setup steps again as shown in my video. 2) Move the extender closer to your wifi router/modem. 3) Also when setting it up, it's important to double check that you are using the correct wifi password to connect to your router/modem with the Extender during set up or you will not be able to make a connection to your new WiFi Extender or have no Internet connection.

Sorry for the delay reply. So many videos and so many comments to respond to, hope you understand. Suggest you make sure which wifi router you are making a connection to, you have 2 M5 routersif I understand you correctly. It will help if you make sure you are connecting to your Primary wifi M5 router and not the M5 being used as an extender. At this point I suggest again you will need to: 1) You most likely will need to perform a repeater reset by using the RESET button (press and hold for a REAL 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet and power is on, then release the RESET button and go through the setup steps again as shown in my video. 2) Move the extender closer to your wifi router/modem. 3) Also when setting it up, it's important to double check that you are using the correct wifi password to connect to your router/modem with the Extender during set up or you will not be able to make a connection to your new WiFi Extender or have no Internet connection.

Suggestions: 1) Check your specs for your Ethernet port on your laptop/computer, 10/100/1000 Ethernet port. 2) Check your specs for your Ethernet port on your computer, 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports. The speed on the Netgear Extender is 10/100/1000 Ethernet port.

@@nickscomputerfix Thanks Nick. I was hoping to boost the signal to my workshop about 30m away from the house here in Australia, where I have an old laptop in use via wifi. It is so slow it's frustrating. Did I see you are on 150Mbps? Our home package is for 25Mbps over wireless Broadband from the towers a few Kms away. We are lucky if the signal strength indicators ever get to be green instead of the orange we see all the time from the tower to us. So being able to boost it from the house to the outside would be a real bonus. One day we will get a decent supply which will improve things hopefully. Thanks again.

Both Netgear and Tp Link are good brands and make many different Extender models. Models with dual bands 2.4ghz and 5ghz are best. Yes, you can connect devices to wifi router or extender.
