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.

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've been using a Google mesh wifi system ever since it was introduced. There's none better, in my view.

I had the google fiber nest wifi mesh and it was ok. I replaced it with these and the spread is nearly double what I was getting from nest.

This WiFi mesh extender is great. Easy setup, good signal,

I just got this tp-link x55 to replace my old Google mesh and this is an amazing wifi 6 mesh system.... The app is a plus and is very easy to use...top notch tp-link, this is a 1 ....

I bought the Orbi with cable modem b/c my Google Wifi mesh was dying. I wanted the one with the cable modem b/c I did not likenthe extra equipment from my provider. The orbi increased my wifi speeds dramatically!! I was very impressed with the power. The mobile app sucks big time. But the browser controls are fine.

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.

We had the old google WiFi hub and were able to use the nest WiFi to create a whole mesh network for our home. There are no dead zones and everything runs great. Super easy set up.

To explain why I love this router I need to explain the issues I ran with another product. I've been using the Google WiFi for a while but I had some major issues with it. The biggest problem was that it's dependent on Google's infrastructure and when it was down, so was my home network. The 2nd problem was with my need to use my home WiFi in bridge mode to allow access to devices on my wired network, printers for example. To do this with Google WiFi I had to give up the mesh capability which defeats it's whole purpose. Now AMPLIFI AFi-HD. First of all it's doesn't rely on an external infrastructure to work. Second, it support mesh network in bridge mode, hence solving my access issues. In addition to this package I also purchased an additional mesh point to better cover my home.�My home Wifi is now extremely fast and reliable. I have 100% signal strength in most of my home and no point in my 2 story home has less than 87% signal strength. I have no problem streaming 4K video from Netflix with speeds up to 65+Mbs while keep using other devices on the network with no noticeable slow-down. I am now waiting for the release of the Teleport which is supposed to make it possible to take my network on the road.
