Q: I work on the road will it work on hotel wifi
submitted by Valentino - 1 year ago
A: Hi Valentino, thanks for reaching out about Netgear AX1600 4-Stream Wifi 6 Mesh Extender. The answer to this depends on the specific hotel's router setup. However, some hotel networks will block such devices due to their router configuration and it will need to be configured to connect to the network at each hotel. Because this device was designed for a long term integration with a home network to alleviate coverage gaps it may not be suitable to this task. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

The Netgear AX 1600 WiFi Extender is everything I needed. I have several devices and WiFi was weaker on my 2nd floor - main router is on the 1st floor. However after installing the extender, internet is just as fast as on the 1st floor. Could not recommend this Netgear device enough!

I purchased this to assist with addition of gaming device- Xbox one. It seems to have helped with the slowness and the lag experienced. The downloads on devices, including phone and tvs was better as well.
It really works!
