NETGEAR EX6120 Wi-Fi Range Extender Specification
Specification: NETGEAR EX6120 Wi-Fi Range Extender
I got this today to help with a buffering problem when I watch streaming movies. My problem isn’t as bad as some. I was just down 2 bars in the front of my house, but it was enough to impact streaming.
Once I set this up, which didn’t take long, it worked very well and has solved my buffering problem. I am up to 5 bars in the front of my house.
The main issue, I think, with this device is that it really doesn’t have enough in the way of explanation in its very thin instructions. As a result, I was left with a few questions. I was able to resolve them relatively quickly, but I am sure people who are not very comfortable with technology will have issues.
Will not Speed up your connection
Please keep in mind, this extender, like all extenders, will at least slightly slow the connection as compared to connecting directly to the router. It shouldn’t slow it a lot, but it will slow it. Extenders simply extend the reach of your wifi. If your connection is slow everywhere in your house, it will be even slower with this. This product will not solve a bad connection. It will only help with your wifi reach.
Don’t Use the .Net Address
1. If you have a WPS button and things go smoothly, then you will be great. The password you will use to login to your network will be the same password you used with your old wifi. (It doesn’t make this clear.) 2. If you don’t have WPS, and you try to use the .net address, I think you will have problems. For me, the .net address did not work. I had to use .com. I only noticed this because I got errors repeatedly until I used .com to try to log in to the administrative panel.
Change the Password for the Extender
Once you set this up, please change the security settings. If someone knows you are using this device and can access your WiFi, he can easily log in to your network and cause all sorts of problems. I wish that the directions made this very clear as a warning to people. This is a huge security hole.
1. To change your security settings, login to the administrative panel at http://www.mywifiext.com (don’t use .net) 2. Login using “admin” as user and “password” as the password (no quotes.) 3. Go to maintenance and choose set password 4. Pick a good password. At least 12 characters, mixture of letters and numbers, capitals and lowercase. Set the questions so if you forget your password you can recover it.
Forget the Old Network
Another recommendation. If you are not going to be switching from network to network in your house, you should make sure you tell whatever device you are using to “forget” the old network. Otherwise, your computer (or whatever) will sometimes try to go back to the original wifi connection, the one you were having problems with, and that will be a pain for you. If you are not sure how to forget a network, just go to google and search “forget network typeofdevice”
Update the Firmware
I needed to update the firmware right out of the box. When I first logged into the website, I saw a notice that there was a firmware update. It took a couple of tries to get it to work properly, for whatever reason. If you are having issues with the device, I suggest you check the firmware.
1. Login (as noted above) 2. Click on Maintenance 3. Click on Firmware upgrade 4. Let it finish. Don’t navigate away from the page. Don’t touch anything. Otherwise it is hard to tell whether it is done.

After logging into NetGears Setup Page and making a password and 2 security questions I found it fairly simple and quick to get the AC1200 WiFi Range Extender to lock into my router. I live in a mobile home and the WiFi connection in the living room where the router is located is fine but when you take your laptop or Ipad down to the other end of the trailer, in the bedrooms you lose quite a bit. On a lot of sites you would get a lot of buffering. Once I put AC1200 in the back bedroom it was like having the router in the room. Plus there are no cord connections, just plug it in the wall socket. If I want to use an Ethernet Cable with my laptop in the bedroom there is an Ethernet Port on the side of the AC1200 Extender to plug into. Some Extenders I reviewed before buying this one don’t have that feature. You can’t go wrong with this model. Works great. And if your a member of Amazon Prime you’ll get it in 2 days.

Been using the extender for almost two weeks and it looks like the perfect purchase for my situation.
My main router cannot be relocated since it’s a fibrenet connection. Before buying this, I used to get speeds of 10-15 Mbps over WiFi (against my internet plan of 150 Mbps which is achieved by getting devices very close to the router or simply connecting to the router via LAN cable) in the room where I work. Getting a good connection and not reaping its benefits would be a bummer. That’s when I did my research and came to buying this product; set it up the moment I received it.
I was surprised to see the MRP on the label which stated Rs. 3500! But it’s alright since I got mine for Rs. 1600 from SD Infotech.
Inside the box were a quick start guide and the extender itself, nicely packed. Looking at pictures on the listing, no clarity regarding this in customer reviews, and travel adapters being listed under “Frequently bought together”, I thought I’ll be needing an adapter to convert the plug to fit the Indian socket, but to my surprise, the extender sported the Indian style plug by default. The extender has four lights – two big and two small – which change colors to indicate changes. The big lights indicate the signal strengths between the extender and main router, and the extender and wireless devices connected to it by changing colors – green (excellent), amber (good), red (poor). It also has a LAN port on the bottom side.
Setting it up was easy and straightforward. The instructions to set it up are mentioned very clearly in the quick start guide. My router does not have a WPS button so I set it up using my laptop, which took about 3 minutes. Later, I set it up in the room where the signal was weak and the speeds were low, played with the position of the antennas, and voila! The speeds were up by a great margin – around 60 Mbps on WiFi and 95 Mbps via LAN. They’re nowhere close to 150 Mbps but I believe this is the fastest it can get in this particular corner of the house.
Overall, I am satisfied with the extender since it does what it’s supposed to in the best way possible. 3 mobile phones and 2 TVs remain connected wirelessly, and one laptop via LAN, all at the same time and there is no noticeable drop in performance.

El paquete llegó mucho antes de lo estimado, por DHL.
Cumple su propósito de repetir y ampliar la señal de una excelente manera. Fácil configuración y no ha fallado para nada. Una semana de uso.
Lo recomiendo ampliamente, si quieres ir a la segura compra este producto, estaba indeciso entre éste modelo (N300) y el AC750, pero realmente con este es mas que suficiente.
Lo compré en $628.42, pero después và que el precio cambió por debajo de los $400… Les recomiendo que estén pendientes en la variación del precio.

I live in a mobile home and the WiFi connection in the living room where the router is located is fine but when you take your laptop or Ipad down to the other end of the trailer, in the bedrooms you lose quite a bit. On a lot of sites you would get a lot of buffering. Once I put AC1200 in the back bedroom it was like having the router in the room.

Been using the extender for almost two weeks and it looks like the perfect purchase for my situation.
My main router cannot be relocated since it’s a fibrenet connection. Before buying this, I used to get speeds of 10-15 Mbps over WiFi (against my internet plan of 150 Mbps which is achieved by getting devices very close to the router or simply connecting to the router via LAN cable) in the room where I work. Getting a good connection and not reaping its benefits would be a bummer. That’s when I did my research and came to buying this product; set it up the moment I received it.
I was surprised to see the MRP on the label which stated Rs. 3500! But it’s alright since I got mine for Rs. 1600 from SD Infotech.
Inside the box were a quick start guide and the extender itself, nicely packed. Looking at pictures on the listing, no clarity regarding this in customer reviews, and travel adapters being listed under “Frequently bought together”, I thought I’ll be needing an adapter to convert the plug to fit the Indian socket, but to my surprise, the extender sported the Indian style plug by default. The extender has four lights – two big and two small – which change colors to indicate changes. The big lights indicate the signal strengths between the extender and main router, and the extender and wireless devices connected to it by changing colors – green (excellent), amber (good), red (poor). It also has a LAN port on the bottom side.
Setting it up was easy and straightforward. The instructions to set it up are mentioned very clearly in the quick start guide. My router does not have a WPS button so I set it up using my laptop, which took about 3 minutes. Later, I set it up in the room where the signal was weak and the speeds were low, played with the position of the antennas, and voila! The speeds were up by a great margin – around 60 Mbps on WiFi and 95 Mbps via LAN. They’re nowhere close to 150 Mbps but I believe this is the fastest it can get in this particular corner of the house.
Overall, I am satisfied with the extender since it does what it’s supposed to in the best way possible. 3 mobile phones and 2 TVs remain connected wirelessly, and one laptop via LAN, all at the same time and there is no noticeable drop in performance.
