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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to replace a pair of tp-Link extenders that quit working. This product works better. I had trouble with installation until I had a chat with Netgear, then it went smoothly.

My rougher is only WiFi 5, so I wanted to upgrade to a 6. It is quite easy to set up once you figure out the system of setting it up. I have been using the device for a week and I have not had any issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Netgear 1600 is fantastic upgrade to my computer system.My modem is located in the basement on the south end of the house and the majority of our internet usage is on the north end of the house approx. 55 feet away needless to say connection was very week to not at all. This put us back to full 4 to 5 bars. Fantastic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was expecting this to really improve my wifi, but, to be honest, I've seen no change at all. It was also very difficult to find a location where I could even get a signal. I am not impressed at all.

In conjunction with our Network tech team, we needed to have the IP address of our Leasing Office Clickshare be found on our network, and integrate into our wifi network. The NETGAER AX1600 was the perfect solution for us and the connectivity is strong a seamless.

This device will easily connect to your wifi then enabling you to connect a router, (I have the Nighthawk). I live off-grid and wanted to set up solar charged security cameras. This device has me set ALL the way up and I like it. Pretty useful device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried other WiFi extenders and in addition to being more complicated to set up, they were inconsistent. This WiFi extender sets up in seconds, there’s no second network to look for, and it completely solved my connectivity issue. Highly recommended.

An AX1600 as an extender right outside the house wall and one right outside the metal bld 70' away provided adequate signal. When the initial AX1600 was used as a wired access point and the extender linked to the access pt, my game set up in the garage finally has the same 100-200 Mbps fiber optic spd I enjoy at the source.
