Netgear EX6200 – AC1200 WiFi Range Extender – 802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit Manuel D’Utilisation

NETGEAR recommends that you connect to the extender only when your existing home 
network connection is poor. Data traffic routed through the extender is inherently slower than 
traffic routed directly from the network.

NETGEAR recommends that you connect through the extender network only when the WiFi 
device is in a “dead zone” where connection from the existing network is poor or nonexistent.

The extender works like a bridge between a WiFi router (or a WiFi access point) and a WiFi 
device outside the range of the WiFi router. The extender performs two main jobs:

The extender connects to a WiFi network that is up and running.

When the extender connects over WiFi to an existing network, it functions as a network 
client, similar to how a WiFi device connects to a network.

The extender acts as an access point for WiFi devices. 

The extender broadcasts its own WiFi network that WiFi devices can join. In its role as an 
access point, the extender performs tasks that WiFi routers do, such as broadcasting its 
network name (SSID).

The extender must do each of these jobs so that both ends of the bridge are in place.

Sometimes your router 
does not provide the WiFi 
coverage you need.

Boosts the range of your 
existing WiFi and creates 
a stronger signal in 
hard-to-reach areas.
