I have bought 4 of these so far, and 2 I gave away. I've been using IPERF3 for testing with my pair and decided I wanted to know exactly how much speed I was getting from these. When using just 1 as an AP, I got upwards for 180Mbps. The band steering features seem to be working well, and other 802.11ax features, as I disabled the 2.4Ghz interface and noticed a drop in speed by about 20Mbps. In a test with two extenders forming a wireless bridge, one in AP mode, the other in mesh mode, I noticed slightly higher speeds, as much as 210Mbps (with both laptops wired in to the ethernet ports). These devices work really well in this configuration, which is surprising as both of my laptops have Intel AX201 wifi cards. I was expecting the 1 AP configuration to provide more throughput. The worst configuration was using both in the mesh mode with the main router being a Ubiquiti AP that I have no management access to. In this configuration I was receiving about 40 to 60 Mbps. I believe the Ubiquiti might only support 802.11ac in my test.
The downsides are that the web configuration is slow, there's no access for SNMP (as this would be excellent for more network insight), and without proper mesh intelligence the performance could (emphasis on could) be bad for an uninformed consumer. However, the web configuration is really well thought out and guides most general use cases to an optimal solution. I'd recommend the Netgear EAX12 for most home and business installations as I'm rather happy with buying my set.
If you lose network access when trying to connect to these devices, try accessing the webpage through IPv6 with the device's built in MAC address. Try opening [ipv6address]/list_extender_device.htm in your web browser (with the square brackets) to see the device. There are websites that convert MAC addresses to IPv6 addresses which should help you get access to the device.

The coverage is excellent but speeds not so great I get 1gig speed from my WiFi 6E Netgear orbi when I tested speeds max can get 163mbps 5G and 2.4Ghz 54mbps not worth buying this if you need better coverage only this is your only way to go EAX20 model I recommend go with Netgear orbi mesh 6E which is expensive spent $2,000 4 pack but it’s definitely worth that route instead this EAX20 is slow for streaming and gaming that’s my orbi 6E mounted wall gig speed all over my home 902 mbps and 237mbps upload I have frontier fiber optic Netgear orbi 6E iPhone
