NETGEAR 4-Stream AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Extender (EAX20)

I have recently have been using the AX1800 WiFi extender for the past week and I have been more than happy with my internet coverage around my home. I did have some problems setting the extender up and connecting to it but a simple reboot of the router and extender fixed the issue. The coverage around my home has been great. In the past I had to use mobile data on my phone to listen to music while mowing my backyard but now I can stay on my wifi because of the extender. Overall I am very pleased with how well this product works and it also works well with the Nighthawk router. I received is product through the Netgear review and test program.

I encountered frequent “internet connection lost” error messages in the devices that were using this extender over my home Wi-Fi for internet connections. The status lights were always “on” indicating connection and Wi-Fi signal etc. were functioning. netgears online support was of no help. Problem turned out to/seems to be due to the fact that I had both the netgear Wi-Fi cable router and this mesh extender plugged into the Ethernet backbone in my house. Unplugging the extenders Ethernet cable from the Ethernet backbone, leaving just the Wi-Fi router connected to the home Ethernet backbone, seems to have resolved the issue .

Moved my workstation to the far end of the basement and was only getting 7mbps, not enough for a reliable connection to the office vpn. The Netgear EAX20 was delivered at 11.36 AM and before noon I was online with 35 mbps, well above the 50% of my primary router that I was expecting. My laptop mostly stays in the docking station but my iPad and iPhone go with me all over the house without any connection issues. I was very happy the first day and am still happy after 4 weeks. I was very nervous about solving my WiFi reception issue because the internet is a mystery to me. Reviews seem to ding the EAX20 for being expensive, but it was worth every penny to me.
