    Paired with the NETGEAR WiFi 6 router. Works great. Had issues with the Extender and the cable company router. NETGEAR tech help was helpful. Added the NETGEAR router to the cable company supplied router. Their WiFi part of the router was not compatible. Spent an extra $150 for the NETGEAR router and have an awesome network now. Both the extender and router are WiFi 6 technology.

    I bought this for use with an arris wifi modem. After being on the phone with tech support it was discovered that this unit Incompatible with the modem. I didn't return it because I have another setup at a different location where I have a nighthawk wifi router. It works but I can't seem to get a solid connection [amber light indicates a weak connection] with the router despite following the directions multiple times.

    I bought this a week ago and it wouldn't connect to the 5G band nor the internet through my Netgear RAX35 router. It merges with my SSID, but then has no internet access. After 3 hours of research, I opened a case with Netgear. After another hour on the phone with support, they said the extender was bad and to exchange it. The second one won't connect to the internet either. One would think that a Netgear WiFi 6 extender would easily connect to a Netgear WiFi 6 router. I'll stick with using an old router as an access point with a different SSID. I've always used Netgear products, but may look at other brands now.

    Would not integrate well with my AT&T modem/router. After reoeated attempts I had to return and was advised a mesh Wi-Fi system would work much better.
