Extend Wifi Range With A Second Wired Router

I bought this router to extend my wifi to the entire house. I already have a RT2600 and the coverage was weak in distant parts of the house (for convenience the RT2600 is in one corner of the house). Adding this mesh router was very easy using the Synology Router Manger. Just had to open SRM and follow the steps on my screen.

I have a large first generation Google Wifi network at home. With several 1st gen Google Wifi hooked up to the main router via Ethernet, and two 1st gen Google Wifi operating in wireless mesh-mode. I used this (2nd gen) Google Nest Wifi Router and Point to extend my network, by hard-wiring the router to extend my existing network, and running the Point as a mesh extension. Works well together with my existing network and allows me to roam around the house with my devices.

This was a quick setup to extend the wifi from my TP-Link AX3000 wifi router. It copied over the SSID from my router and now I have strong coverage throughout the house.

Had a gaming wifi router that was starting to have issues such as random devices getting booted off and then having to try multiple times to connect. Other oddities such as some admin screens failing to load, so even though it wasn't very old I decided to replace it with a good router. This one certainly fits the bill. I work from home so I wanted something solid and reliable with a UI that makes configuration clear. I have a Sinology NAS so I thought I would try out their router and wasn't disappointed. Had things set up in no time. I also appreciated being able to set up groups with hours restrictions to keep my kids from doing late-night browsing. Supports add-on software modules that enable it to provide additional services such VPN or DNS, but everything I needed was already baked in. I pretty much run my cablemodem into the router and then set up my WiFi for most devices, plus a few hard wired ones such as my NAS. I have 500Mb internet service and was able to get 386Mb via wifi to my older laptop. Local file copies hit slightly higher than that at 400-420mbps using the 802.11ac wifi connection, so ~400Mbps seems to be the upper limit on wifi. . Local wired connections hit 110MBs file copies which means it's pretty much maxing out what a 1Gbps connection can handle and the router seems fine with this throughput. I don't have any 2.5Gb devices so I couldn't see how that went. Looking forward to keeping this router around for a long time.

The Netgear WiFi Mesh Range Extender EX6250 was very easy to install and it did exactly what I needed it to do; extend the coverage of my Spectrum Router.

My wifi Netgear is a great tool to use for allowing my internet service to extend outside the range.

The NETGEAR WiFi Mesh Range Extender EX6250 was so easy to setup and did exactly what I needed it to do: extend the coverage of my Spectrum Router.

I enjoy having one router and satellite to extend the range. I have always bought netgear for my networking needs. This is the best yet. The next on my list is the orbi 760 mesh for our home.

This extender can pick up weak signal from router and extend the signal to a larger range. I compared it with a old generation extender and it definitely perform much better than the old one.

The Orbi did a great job at replacing our modem and router and the satellites that came with it really helped extend the range all through out the house first and second story.
