- Does the EAX20 work with any router?
- It works as a standard range extender with most routers, but mesh features like a single network name and roaming need a compatible Netgear mesh router.
- Is it Wi-Fi 6?
- Yes. It is an AX1800 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 extender, roughly 1.2 Gbps on 5 GHz and 600 Mbps on 2.4 GHz.
- Can I plug devices into it?
- Yes. It has four Gigabit LAN ports, so a TV, console or PC can connect by cable in the extended room.
- Does it create a separate network name?
- It can use the same name as your router for mesh-style roaming, or a separate one if you prefer to pick the network manually.
- Where should I place it?
- Put it roughly halfway between the router and the weak area, where the router's signal is still strong, rather than in the dead spot itself.
- Does it support WPA3?
- No. Security is listed as WPA-PSK, so WPA3-only setups are not covered.
