Need a wifi extender capable of DLNA
I'm considering the Netgear EX6200 as it appears to have what I need but it's difficult to research the issues around DLNA. The replacement also needs to replace the functionality of the existing repeater, which serves upstairs computers for Internet access and as a gigabyte hub for computers and a NAS. The EX6200’s installation instructions also state that it should have line of sight access to the primary router, which would be a problem for me and which needs to be evaluated.
Any insight into Netgear products as they might pertain to my needs would be extremely appreciated. Cost is an issue but I'd much rather purchase the correct hardware than waste my time.

Hi rarewolf,
If the rooms are within the same electrical circuit, consider NETGEAR Powerline, particularly the PL1200 / PLP1200 for your case.

You can run feature comparisons to see which one fits your requirements.

Thanks nhann!
I had been curious about the power line solutions, but had to wonder if the circuit would work. It's all within the home certainly, but the circuit downstairs would definitely have to return to the main fuse box before finding the circuit to the upstairs bedrooms. I'll look into it ...
cheers 🙂
