Again, without diving into the technical mumbo-jumbo, this technology intelligently chooses the most optimal WiFi band for every device connected to the network. There's also the Smart Connect, a system that operates in a different way but brings the same solution to the table.

In layman's terms, the technology maximizes the performance of every device connected to the network. For instance, the device incorporates MU-MIMO, a technology that improves the router's "communication" with multiple devices over the same WiFi band. Of course, the WiFi extender isn't devoid of the usual technologies that aren't inclusive to NETGEAR. This way, you can have it all under one WiFi name and security password, which is a lot more convenient than what you'd usually get from a different company. One thing that we always liked about NETGEAR's network solutions and the model is no exception is the ability to combine all of the visible WiFi networks into a single entity. The AC2200 is compatible with just about any router, gateway, or rented ISP gateway. Simply add it to your network and sync to the existing router. It may not give you enough range to cover the largest office out there but the extender will most certainly be able to keep the most sizable house connected via a strong wireless signal.Īnother point in the extender's favor is the universal compatibility of this model. As the model boasts a coverage area of up to 10,000 feet, this is an equally suitable device for an average office. It does so by automatically handing off your connection between the router and the extender.īy the way, it doesn't have to be a house.

As the name suggests, the technology will allow you to freely roam around the home without worrying about being disconnected at one point or the other. First, there's the device's Smart Roaming system. That said, this is still the word we would use to describe the AC2200, the mesh WiFi extender from NETGEAR. Especially considering the fact that the term has been thrown around so much lately that it is beginning to lose most of its meaning. We really aren't the biggest fans of the term "smart" as it pertains to technologies and electronics.
