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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device was easy to set up with the app, although there’s a mismatch with the app wizard and Netgear’s guide. I just followed app directions. The device gets very hot, there’s no WiFi improvement, and the extender frequently cannot be found in the app, requiring time-consuming processes more involved than initial set up to get it findable again. The app can sometimes find the extender from one device but not another. This plug-in extender gets hot, lights up, has an app, but seems clunky and has not proven useful.
Fixed our problem!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was having signal issues from my xfinity router, smart lights wouldn’t program, constantly dropping out when listening to music, etc. Installed AX1600 and the signal strength skyrocketed, no further problems!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this in my hallway bathroom hallway outside the kids room (~25ft away from router) with a 1.2Gig internet plan. We used to get 30-50mbps to their TV's, but with this range extender, they both get 200 ! Fast enough for lag free 4k streaming and gaming at the same time with no issues! I would highly recommend this as a cost effective option to expand your wifi network!

Item was relatively easy to install and connect to my router. Once up and running, It seems to be repeating signals to where I need coverage. The information sheet supplied was good. The unit is solid.
