Netgear AC1200 Wifi Range Extender

[@percivalbrown4069]

I had purchased one of these device roughly four years ago never had any need to use it until recently now that I watched your video I can now install and see how good it is

[@susansupino9167]

I am not connected to the extenders internet. Thanks for giving me the guide. I read it this morning!

[@manchuk1d]

holy shit this video saved my ass, was on the phone for asisstant but they told me to go on some other site to download something... somthing did not feel right. thank you!!

[@WebmasterCoLtd]

Very good tutorial u,ve got here Mr. Frank Kudos

[@kirk0270]

Thanks for the info! I'm looking to purchase an extender. Your video has help me in my decision! Thanks again!

[@FrankGuest]

Jon J glad you liked the video. I have another on the Netgear Orbi. It’s more expensive but a far superior product. Please subscribe.

[@jeremywhite1062]

Thanks started watching and first like min of you explaining and figured out what'd I missed and easy peasy from there appreciate it

[@naruttaanime9471]

I was surprised the 5y connected in bsmt. Thumbs 👍

[@essentialeugene]

Hey Frank I got my extender working. I had to use the Device Access code on my modem to change the WiFi settings. I changed my SSID network to EXT and my WiFi channel to 48. I pushed the WPS button on my modem and then on the extender and it worked. However on my basement PC I get 5 bars through the extender but my speed is 130 mbps instead of 300 mbps. The downloading of the pages are much faster now. My extender is in the dining room which is closest to the router.

[@FrankGuest]

That is great. Glad you were able to get it to work.

[@PeaceGZi]

Thanks bro for the videos it was really helpful

[@susansupino9167]

Thank you. This was helpful!

[@shrtkbm]

I know and understand this video is seven years old. I’ve had this product probably since then and have been able to set it up and it works fine it just doesn’t let me get into the netgear genie to be able to update firmware and such. Would their customer service line still work and would they help me even if I don’t have a technical support plan?

How does one get rid of the old wifi identifier (ex. like a radio station wmal and make it to the new say weta) thats my problem have a netgear 3700 ....and Frank your home location pops up as im from Annandale...i moved 20 miles and it still keys to the departed residence (wmal one)

[@megmiller7778]

In order to connect to an apple airport router you must deselect automatic channels in the base station ( wireless options). Just pick a random channel

[@beastmodegears3279]

Not gonna lie this dude looks like some famous actors.

[@robertcarter4649]

There is a stronger wifi extender out there to use in this situation or if possible run a ethernet cable to the basement

[@FrankGuest]

Robert Carter This obviously was not the right one for my house. I considered running an ethernet cable to the basement. But then I decided to go with the Orbi whole house Wi-Fi solution. I went with that and it works great I have a video on my channel of me setting it up. Please check it out. Thank you for watching.

[@BoogerBooty22]

Can you run an Ethernet cable off your main router and run it inside the wall down to your basement. There you can have an additional router for signal. I did this at my house some time ago and it works very well. Just a thought.

[@FrankGuest]

froggie pad yes. That certainly is an option. One I have been considering.

[@jaydollYtube]

froggie pad Thank you I did the Ethernet cable and it fix my signal.

Great informative video, just bought one from Amazon after my TP-Link one failed. Actually my TP-Link range extender never really worked, kept loosing signal but was fast when it did work.

[@armeniaes503]

I did everything as you did. I created the account but the wifi name network ssiD does not show up on my wifi network. On phone or computer. Any idea as to why this is happening

[@leeatlaox]

thanks i npow have one of these and it works similar to your demo - what i find little frustrating is that when i am roaming in / out the house with iphone 12 / samsung laptop they auto join either the main router / ext 2.5 or the 5.0 is there any way this can be prioritised to auto join the strongest wifi signal ?? thanks lee

[@lil9974]

I’m Verizon technician. You connected your extender with 2.4 frequency to the Verizon gateway. That’s the problem you’re not giving it , its full potential connected to the 5 GHz WiFi for faster speed. Unless your Devices are not capable with the 5 GHz , because not all devices are capable with 5 GHz.

[@FrankGuest]

When I set up my extender, I did not see my wifi network on the 5G side of the Netgear genie setup page. My network only showed up on 2.4GHz. I have since upgraded to a new "extender". I have the Netgear Orbi AC 3000. I not have over 400 up and down in my basement. Check out that video if you like, Its on my channel.

[@albread]

Great video. Is your WSP icon. Lit up?

[@feel1873]

The website did not show to me, please help. I connected to the connection.

[@essentialeugene]

Hey Frank I got the Netgear AC1200 WiFi extender. It acts weird. It drops out sometimes. It drops from 300 to 130 mbps. Sometimes it says your connected to the internet when you are not. I sometimes don't see the router light and the client on but I can still use the internet. Should I get 4 more WiFi extenders? My extender sits in the dining room so the downstairs PC can get the connection.

[@medz7566]

You didn’t try the 5g one my friends one is so fast but when he connected mainly to the router it was slow so this is actually better than you think

[@Toypesado]

Great Vid. Can I extend signal via lan(CAT5E) cable? Signal is to low back in my garage. Approx 80ft away.

[@donnythedealer2571]

My WiFi is pretty good in my loft but I’m wondering if this improves the WiFi a lot

[@FrankGuest]

It will not increase the speed of your wifi but it will increase the wifi range. If you want faster internet check out this video on my channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWWWc4KQicidedE Thanks for watching.

[@thatdankguy5140]

Do you know if its possible to pair this device to a powerline adapter?

[@FrankGuest]

That dank guy . I am far from an expert on this subject. But I don’t think it will work. I don’t think the extender will see your PLA. It will look for your router to connect and extend. I only used this product for about 6 months and then I updated to an Orbi whole home WiFi product. I have a video on that as well on my channel. If you need an ethernet connection to a device in your house and that device is not close to your router, you should look into the Orbi or similar products.

[@thatdankguy5140]

@@FrankGuest thanks for the quick reply, I really appreciate the help.

[@midzgaming]

That dank guy it would if you use it as an access point I believe

[@TotesMAGoats69]

I also have Verizon in NoVa and I wasn't sure if it would work with my router. Trying it tomorrow.

[@TotesMAGoats69]

Just upgraded to the Orbi. Thanks for the recommendation. Best investment ever

are u still happy with the extender ? Still working fine ??? I bought one for my 1600 square feet house , will be here tomorrow ... you house is beautiful ! Is huge

[@FrankGuest]

Tony MTA it actually did not work as well as I had hoped. I ended up purchasing an Orbi Mesh router with a satellite. That set up worked much better for the size of the house. I have a video of that on my channel as well. Check it out. Thanks for the view and the comment.

Over 2.4GHz, u will not get speed beyond 40mbps. You should connect to 5GHz to experience speeds beyond 40Mbps

[@budgethitman2212]

How is this video 21 mins long!?

[@FrankGuest]

Thank you for the question. I like to think I went into just about every detail of the set up of this wifi extender. I was doing it for the first time while I was shooting the video. If I was not shooting the video it probably would have only taken me 10 minuets. But I tried to capture everything for my viewers.

Your WiFi router is in the wrong place... it should be in the middle level of the house and centered in the house,

[@cheapbounds3689]

There could be 50 people living in that house...

[@darillfow]

Your home is too big, you'll need to hard wire from upstairs to downstairs.

[@FrankGuest]

Darill Fowler You are correct. I upgraded to a Orbi Mesh system. I have a video of that on my channel as well. You should check it out.

[@sirsalam25]

U got those speeds because of the 2.4Ghz version

[@FrankGuest]

RZ_Bombzツ During the set up, approximately 10 minutes into the video, when the Netgear extender was looking for WiFi net woo, it did not see my 5 GHz network. My only choice was 2.4. I no longer use this extender, I have a Orbi mesh whole home WiFi system in my house now. There is a video on my channel of me setting that up.

[@sirsalam25]

@@FrankGuest ok thanks, i will be sure to be checking that out since im looking for something similar

[@yvonneanderson912]

it takes you forever to get to setting it up. I have just wasted 21 minutes.

[@warriormso]

Thanks for the video. Was going to buy that piece of shit. Now they just fuck your money home boy..

[@FrankGuest]

At least I have WiFi in the baseline now. That said next month I’m purchasing a Netgear Orbi. It should be leaps and bounds better. I’ll post a video of that as well. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.

[@happyjack880]

Any WiFi extender under $100 is junk. It may work for a year, or it may not connect at all. Don't waste your time and money on these cheap $30 or $40 extenders. You'll spend more time sending them back to wherever you bought it than you will on your computer. Been there done that.

[@FrankGuest]

This extender absolutely did not work for me. I state this in my video. I replaced it with an Orbi. I have a video of that on my channel as well.

[@HenryTheBoilermaker3rdYear]

Waste of money. Without WiFi extender is faster.

[@FrankGuest]

Henry Chaisritha I would no say it was a waist of money. At least I have internet in our basement. So it worked. Just not as good as I had hoped. Looking into other options for better results.

[@HenryTheBoilermaker3rdYear]

Frank Guest ow yes. But you should use Ethernet cable instead like me. You can get 30+m Ethernet cable and stick the cable up the wall. With Ethernet cable you get full speed no matter how long your cable is.

[@FrankGuest]

Henry Chaisritha very true. But I don’t want cables running on the outside of my wall. At some point I’ll run a cable inside the walls to my basement. But at that point I won’t use the extender. I’ll use a small switch.

[@blueterrace]

This did not help me at all.

[@FrankGuest]

Sorry about that. Not sure how I could have been more clear. What exactly were you looking for? I videoed every step I took to get the extender to work. Ended up not being the right extender for me, but should have worked for you if your home was a bit smaller than mine.

[@blueterrace]

@@FrankGuest it wasn’t you, it just didn’t provide the information I needed. I messed with it till I got it working.
