EX6120 Is not as fast as the wifi speed in the same room.

[ether123]

I recently purchased a Netgear EX6120 to have a wired ethernet to my PC with higher speeds.

The wifi in my room is around 200-300Mbps, however, the wifi extender is only at 20-30 Mbps without ethernet, with ethernet it is 30-40.

The product description says it goes up to 1200Mbps.

I use a virgin media hub4.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this or will I have to return it?

Hi @ether123 ,

I have an EX6120 – AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Range Extender for my room PC. I was facing the same kind of problem as you. On wifi I was getting speed even worst then you. Back then I was writing an article what is all purpose flour for my website it takes several mins to upload media on my website. 

All I do is change my wifi channel from default to a specific range by analysing which channel is free in my surrounding. Try to change wifi channel may be its help.

Regards,

Charlie

So, you changed the frequency?

I think that might be the solution fo rme, changine 2.4ghz to 5ghz.

Could you tell me how did you do that?
