NETGEAR AC1200 EX6120 - WiFi Range Extender, White

The NETGEAR AC1200 WiFi Range Extender (EX6120-100PES) extends your existing wireless signal to reach areas with poor coverage. It supports the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard and offers a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 1200 Mbps. With dual-band support, the extender operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies simultaneously. The 2.4 GHz band provides speeds up to 300 Mbps, while the 5 GHz band reaches up to 900 Mbps for bandwidth-intensive tasks such as streaming or gaming. The unit is compatible with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards, ensuring it works with both legacy and modern hardware.

Two external antennas help maintain a stable signal across the extended range. A single Fast Ethernet port provides a 10/100 Mbps wired connection for non-wireless devices. The wall-plug design allows the unit to connect directly to an electrical outlet, saving space and reducing cable clutter. Installation is straightforward, using a WPS button for one-touch pairing with your router. Alternatively, you can configure the device manually through a web-based interface using any standard browser. A physical switch provides direct control over the power state, and at 130 grams, the unit remains secure when mounted in vertical wall sockets.

• Two external antennas: Boost signal range in difficult-to-reach rooms or across different floors.
• Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button: Connect to the main router with a single press instead of entering a password.
• Web-based management interface: Configure settings and monitor network status via standard desktop or mobile browsers.
• WPA2-PSK security support: Uses industry-standard encryption to maintain a protected wireless environment.
• Compact wall-plug design: Mounts directly to an indoor power outlet to keep floors and desks clear.
• Integrated on/off switch: Manually toggle the power without removing the unit from the wall socket.
