_______________________________
2.4Ghz is slower speed wifi but the signal travels farther
5Ghz is faster speed wifi but the signal doesn't travel as far
_______________________________
My Goal:
Extend my verizon fios router wifi signal for both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz to my entire NYC apartment.
(Large apartment with many bedrooms, many walls, some of those walls are concrete)
My Verison fios wifi router is on one end of my apartment and i need to boost the signal from that to the other end of the apartment.
_______________________________
Currently:
I have a Linksys wifi extender i bought years ago but it's too weak to boost both 2.4ghz & 5ghz to the other side of my apartment, it's not strong enough to penetrate all the walls.
All the walls in my apartment eat up the wifi signal.
_______________________________
New Setup:
With this new Netgear wifi extender, i was able to remove my older wifi extender and i plugged this new Netgear wifi extender into an outlet on the other end of the apartment and now i get FULL BARS for both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz in the ENTIRE apartment!
_______________________________
The Netgear status shows me the signal strength the extender is picking up:
2.4Ghz signal strength: 162Mbps
5Ghz signal strength: 585Mbps
_______________________________
INSTALLATION (setup):
(It comes with a paper instructions booklet plus the instructions are online)
Google: EX6250
The instructions are on the Netgear website.
Very basic simple instructions.
Connect to the netgear extender using a device that has wifi (i used a windows 10 PC), connect it to the netgear wifi extender and then in your web browser go enter this URL address:
http://192.168.1.250
(You should be able to do this same thing on a mobile phone or tablet)
That will take you to the Netgear admin page where you can follow the steps to configure your device.
_______________________________
Additional options:
There is an ethernet port on the device if you want to hardwire an ethernet cable to the wifi extender to configure the admin settings and as another way to connect the wifi extender to your network.
Fastlane option. From what i read, that will boost your 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz signal. You have to turn this option on and then you need to pick which signal to boost. You can only do one. So have to pick 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz. So if you only need 5Ghz then you can use fastlane on the 5Ghz and the 2.4Ghz will be turned off. And now your 5Ghz will be faster.
NOTE:
I would not use the "fastlane" option because Amazon Alexa smart plugs use 2.4Ghz. They won't work with 5Ghz unless you can find ones that do.
There is a 1 button quick setup. (WPS) but i don't use that. That basically lets you configure your home router so that if you press the WPS button on two devices (router and wifi extender). They will quickly sync together (quick setup) but you need to have that WPS option on your home router for it to work and that option needs to be enabled to allow it.
NOTE:
I don't use that because that will also allow anyone to walk over to your router and connect themselves to your network without needing any passwords. (bad security)
Access point option. I don't plan to use that option. The wifi extender has a ethernet port on it, for the access point to work you need to use an ethernet cable and connect your router and this wifi extender together. I'm not 100% sure what the access point would be good for because the wifi extender option works really well. It's all you really need.
I don't know much about how that access point would work or how you should or could use it so i wont comment much on that.
In the end i ended up using the Ethernet port on the WIFI Extender to connect an ethernet cable from the WIFI Extender to my Roku.
Another good option, buy a small 8 or less port Ethernet Hub. Connect an Ethernet cable from the WIFI extender into the Hub. Now you can connect devices with an Ethernet cable (laptop, ethernet printer, etc), directly to the WIFI extender (assuming you need / want a wired connection)
The only reason to do this? Possibly a more stable internet connection? If all else fails. Try that.
_______________________________
CONCLUSION:
This Netgear wifi extender is POWERFUL while being very compact. No external antennas required. Looks very clean when installed into a wall outlet. If you install at the top outlet, the bottom outlet will NOT be blocked.
I highly recommend buying it. A little pricey but it works well! Now it may be overkill if your apartment is very tiny. But if you have a ton of bedrooms with lots of walls & weak wifi signal. This should easily fix it.
If you have a big home especially with a big backyard and you currently have a weak signal. This might also be useful to cover a huge range and get wifi across your whole home and yard.
BUT check the specs first. The specs show the range it covers. It looks like you can connect two of these wifi extenders together if you need a bigger range but start with only 1 because it works so well you might only need 1.
All scores are subject to change as I use it more.
Installation: 5 / 5, super easy to do and takes less than 3 minutes altogether. Now the thing was, I have brought my item used, so it was missing the manual to set it up. The box itself was old and didn't have any how to description on it. Luckily, it wasn't a big deal as NetGear themselves did a short guide on how to set it up themselves on their youtube channel. Search "NETGEAR WiFi Extender Setup: How To" on youtube if you happened to want to see how to set it up. It was simply plug it into a wall outlet, wait a minute for the red light on the device to turn green, click a button (WPS signal to router), go to router, click your router's WPS button, wait a minute for connect to set up... and you're good to go... for real... it is THAT simple.
Wifi Extender: 5 / 5, Wow am I impressed (at the moment) since it works and works well. Now for those curious, how I am using it is having it connected in my basement. My router is on the second floor on my house. The NetGear itself is in the basement floor of my house. What was once my device struggling to receive one bar of wifi signal to absolutely no connection at all in the basement is now three bars of wifi. Of course, at the moment, I have only tested the 2.4Ghz band and haven't touched the 5Ghz connection. Will test it out when I decide I need that extra speed.
Complaints: One thing I've noticed was that when I set up the connection with my router and the NetGear device was that I completely lost my internet connection for all my devices connected to the router for about 2 to 3 minutes. NOT SURE if it is NetGear related issue but I don't think it will be that coincidental. Either way, after that several minute of confusion, everything went back to normal. Also, when I plug the device into an outlet, it takes at least a minute, no more than 2 minutes for the device to connect to my router and become ready to extend the wifi range.
Would I recommend: For the price of new, at of this review (~$90 + tax) but even then I've brought it used for around ($60 with tax) and I find it hard to justify that price (It should be more between the $30 - $40 range, but that is just my opinion). On hindsight, I should have gotten a cheaper device. All I really needed was the 2.4Ghz band wifi extension that supports up to 600 Mbps. The reason I brought it was to allow my grandparents and parents to get a strong enough signal on the ground level so that won't have to walk up two flight of stairs to get decent access to the wifi. So in the end, it isn't just about extending the wifi but how and why I am using it for. If you're using it to just extend the wifi, there are cheaper alternatives. Personally, I would wait til it dips into the $60 (new) range if I want to purchase another one, and yes, I would definitely buy this device (or newer versions) if I ever again come across a similar scenario.

Reviewed in Brazil on January 11, 2022
To the manufacturer, have FastLane enabled by default or give users the option to install it when they are setting up the wifi extender for the first time. At the very least, mention it in your product manual.
I can imagine a lot of customers have returned this product by mistake because they thought it was not functioning very well... OR they blame NBN! :)
Other than that, all was well.
