The EX6200 has another great feature, which is it can offer two modes of operation. First is your standard browsing mode where both bands are extended and other is FastLane mode, which only extends either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz but increases the range.

Netgear EX6200 also gives you five gigabit Ethernet ports that allow it to function as a bridge. It’s not compact in terms of physical appearance like some other Wi-Fi extenders, but it has more to offer in terms of performance. It is a true dual-band booster, and you can connect to 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands separately or simultaneously. With its 801.11ac Wi-Fi technology, this is currently the best range extender on the market.
