The device is effortless to set up, you need to plug it into your wall socket and press the WPS button on your router and extender, and it will automatically set itself up within a couple of minutes. You can also set it up using the TP-Link mobile app or the TP-Link web interface. The extender has LED indicators on top, which let you know connection statuses like host WiFI signal strength and a band of the signal received. One nice feature of the app is that you get a location assistant, which lets you know the best location to help you maximize your network coverage, 

The TP-Link AC1200 comes with OneMesh support, which means you can create a mesh network if you have a OneMesh-compatible router. This extender offers a decent speed, which is good enough for basic usage, but you wouldn’t be satisfied if you plan to play games on WiFi with this extender.

Specifications:

• Speed: Dual Band, 2.4GHz band(300Mbps) / 5GHz band(867Mbps)
• Coverage: Up to 1500 sq. ft, 50 to 75 feet

The next WiFI extender on our list would be the Netgear EX-6110 AC1200, another dual-band WiFI extender that costs around Rs. 2,500 and allows up to 25 devices to be connected at a time. Netgear promises that this extender can offer up to 1200 Mbps. This extender comes with no external antennas, which gives it a minimal design that looks good with the interior, which could be a good point for some.

It is relatively easy and can be set up with some button clicks in a few minutes. You also get something called FastLane Technology, which utilizes both bands, facilitating higher streaming speed. Four LED indicators at the front let you know about your router and network statuses. What you miss out on is an ethernet port that enables you to connect any wired device with your extender, which I think Netgear should have included at this price point.

The Netgear EX6110 AC1200 is a good WiFi extender if you are looking for a good-looking WiFi extender that goes well with your interiors. You will need to look for other options if you plan to connect a wired device with this, as this device lacks an ethernet port.
