- Does the EAX12 work with any router?
- It repeats a standard Wi-Fi signal from most routers, but mesh features such as one network name work best with a Netgear mesh router.
- Is it Wi-Fi 6?
- Yes. It supports 802.11ax on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and it also connects to older Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4 devices.
- Can I plug a device into it?
- Yes. It has one Ethernet port, so you can wire a TV, console or PC in a room with weak Wi-Fi.
- Does it support WPA3?
- Yes. WPA3 is supported for wireless security, along with older standards for devices that need them.
- Does it need to be near the router?
- It should sit roughly midway between the router and the dead zone. Too far away and it repeats a weak signal, so speeds drop.
- Is it a mesh system on its own?
- No. It is an extender that can join a Netgear mesh network; it does not replace a router.
