WiFI signal strengh in my house usiung AX6000
unfortunately get incerased loss of Wifi in one corner of my house. The Modem (Broadband conenction) is located on the living room and has two WiFi channels conncted to the AX600 (2G and 5G). See screenshot.
It works very well in the entier house, just on the top floor near my workstation the WiFi drops and losse conection.
Is this problem known? , if yes what can be done to increase the signal strength?
I would guess that the 5G WIFi Signal should be strong enough. Or is this due to some Firmware which was not udpdated ?
Help is welcomed and many thanks in advance to a view ..... Francois

What is the modem? I assume that it is a modem/router if it also does wifi.
What is the AX600. It is not a unique Netgear model number. Many devices come with the AC/AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and others, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
As far as I can see Netgear makes only one AX600 extender, the EAX80.
Look at the label on the device for the Model Number. And, if there is one, include the "V" bit to show the hardware version. If there is no V number, then you have V1.

Or is this due to some Firmware which was not udpdated ?You should ensure that our firmware is up to date, but firmware rarely has much to do with wifi signal strength. That is down to the hardware and where you put it. Stick something in the corner of the house is not a good idea. Move it as near as possible to the centre of the house. Or move the extender nearer to the modem/router and see where you experience the "not spots"
5GHz is faster than 2.4 GHz, but it has a shorter range.
How is this AX600 connected to the anonymous modem/router?
