NETGEAR EAX20 Wi-Fi Extender: What to Know
The EAX20 is an AX1800 dual-band WiFi 6 extender. Per the listing's own feature bullets, it adds coverage up to 1,500 sq. ft. and connects up to 20+ devices including laptops, smartphones, speakers, IP cameras, tablets and IoT devices. That device list is worth reading closely if you have a lot of small always-on gadgets rather than just phones and laptops.
Its headline convenience feature is Smart Roaming, which per the listing uses your existing network SSID name so you never get disconnected as you move around your home or office. In plain terms, that means your devices should see one network name rather than a separate "_EXT" network you have to join manually - a real quality-of-life difference if you walk around while on a call.
On performance, the listing describes AX1800 speed up to 1.8 Gbps using dual-band WiFi (up to 600 plus 1200 Mbps) with 4 simultaneous streams for more capacity. Per NETGEAR's own description, it is universally compatible with any wireless router, gateway or cable modem with WiFi, which makes it the most flexible plug-in option here for mixed-brand setups.
