Netgear Ex6120 AP Mode Speed
Hi, I currently have my Netgear Ex6120 setup in AP mode via ethernet cable running directly from my router with a Cat6 cable. My Internet speeds via the router are around 360Mbps which is what I am c...
When you're testing in AP mode, are you testing on 5ghz or 2.4gh?
2.4ghz is much much slower.
Have you tried testing the cable that's connected to the EX6120 to ensure the cable supports full speeds?
- This is from running on the 5GHz connection. I hadn't actually thought about trying another cable, albeit I don't have one spare as they were provided by the electrician when we had our house rewired and installed the etherenet sockets.
I've just ordered 2 Cat6 cables and will give them a try tomorrow- Just an update, I've replaced both cables WITH Cat6 and still getting the same speeds around 40-50Mmbps. If I plug my laptop or computer directly into the ethernet wall socket I get my full speeds so it is definitely the booster holding it back.
What I have noticed is that on Netgear 7800 router, the connection flashes orange when it's connecting into the Ex6120. If I remove the ethernet cable and plug it directly into a computer or laptop it goes white.Have you tried factory resetting the extender?
How old is the extender?
What firmware is on it?
