Very fast, Lots of Ethernet ports, Dedicated wireless connection to router,
Bulky, Expensive,
Like the slightly cheaper X4S, the Netgear Nighthawk X6S (EX800) uses twin 5GHz radios to provide both a fast connection to your client devices and a full-speed link back to your router. What's more, the backhaul radio is rated at an exceptionally fast 1...

Extends WiFi range with any router (but compatible NETGEAR router required for single SSID), Keeps your existing router, unlike dedicated mesh systems, Relatively painless setup, Not as expensive as dedicated mesh WiFi, Four-port Ethernet switch, USB port
Only extends 802.11n a little, Not as much extra 802.11ac range as a dedicated mesh WiFi system, Only USB 2.0
The NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band WiFi Range Extender has clear benefits over a standalone router. It can extend your usable 802.11ac range by 5-10m, which can mean the difference between covering your house and not. However, it's not in the same league...
It's ideal for gaming, 4K streaming, and anything that requires high-performance bandwidth. The Netgear Nighthawk X6S (EX8000) does an excellent job of extending high-performance Wi-Fi connectivity throughout your home, with impressive 5GHz speeds and ran...

Top performance, Tri-band operations, Software is easy to set up, Excellent assortment of ports
Huge device, Only 90-day support included, Expensive
Big, expensive and worth every penny, Netgear's $180 Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band Range Extender leads the pack in data speed and range. It's powerful enough to put speedy Wi-Fi in every corner of your house, but the desktop design may be bulkier than you want...
Both the Netgear Nighthawk X4S and X6S significantly improved wireless signal strength and speed, all while requiring no configuration of any kind to set up. A simple press of the WPS button on either side is all that's needed to hook up to your existing...

Tri-band design, Good performance at middle distances, Lots of customization options, Wired LAN aggregation potential
Expensive, Parental controls require third-party account, 90-day support included
Netgear's X6S can fill good-size homes with Wi-Fi while providing lots of customization options and performing well at middle-to-long distances. One of the few routers that can aggregate two of its wired LAN ports for top speed, the X6S could be the route...
