Q: I work on the road will it work on hotel wifi
submitted by Valentino - 2 years 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.

So far so good
From the short time we have had this extender it has worked easily and effectively. It cost about half of another one we purchased that only tried to connect for minutes to each site we visited. We like this one.

Great product
So easy to install and set up. Range appears to be good inside the house. Not sure if it improved coverage in the detached garage.

Truly Plug and Play
My sprinkler controller in the garage kept dropping off-line due to a very weak Wi-Fi signal there. The AX1600 solved the problem. Installation was very simple. Plug it in, and make a few entries in the app. Now a strong signal in the garage. Problem solved.

Great Extender. Ethernet plug excellent feature
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works very well. Ethernet plug that comes with it more than doubled the speed when plugged directly in to playstation.

Pleasantly surprised
I wasn't sure how well the AX1600 would work, but I'm able to game without any noticeable lag and configuration wasn't too bad with the Netgear app. I would have preferred to be hard wired to my Nighthawk router, but this is working out really well.
