Does ex6120 work to extend google fiber?
I have been searching a bunch of sites for info and some say yes, and others no. Please advise before I waste more time trying to configure. I'm not the best with this stuff and quite frankly, I'm ...
There's not a lot out there on the router specs, but it looks like it delivers AC1700 wifi network - dual band with 3x3 802.11ac at 5G.
The ex6120 should work ok.
Thanks. So now I just have to figure out how to set it up. Just gave it a stab from a youtube video but it doesn't appear to be working.
The manual is here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EX6120/EX6120_UM_25Aug2015.pdf
Basically you
- reset the extender
- connect a PC or tablet to the extender wifi network
- enter www.mywifiext.net in the browser address bar
That should take you to the web setup. There you enter the network name/passphrase of the router wifi network, etc.
I can't remember the password I used previously when I used this extender for our ATT service. I used a pin to reset and then it says connect to it but how? The one name is still showing up as a wifi option. If I try to connect to that, it asks me for the password that I still don't have. Sorry, but this is confusing.
Nevermind. I just called and mine is broken. They did a test and need to send me a new one. Thanks again!
