无论您是寻找一种简单地扩展Wi-Fi网络，将现有Wi-Fi网络桥接到LAN还是创建全新的接入点的方法，Netgear EX6100都能完成所有工作。 继续阅读时，请继续阅读多方面的小范围扩展器。

什么是EX6100？ (What Is The EX6100?)

The Netgear EX6100 (herein referred to as the EX6100 for brevity) is a wall-wart form factor wireless extender. Wireless extenders are intended to extend the reach of your original wireless signal beyond the range of your primary Wi-Fi connection; you place the extender within the current range of your router and it takes that signal and extends it outward.

Netgear EX6100 (为简便起见，在下文中称为EX6100)是一种壁挂式无线扩展器。 无线扩展器旨在将原始无线信号的范围扩展到主要Wi-Fi连接的范围之外； 您将扩展器放置在路由器的当前范围内，它将接收该信号并将其向外扩展。

In addition to providing Wi-Fi extension, the EX6100 sports several other very useful features. The unit has a gigabit Ethernet port built in and in addition to Wi-Fi extension you can also use the EX6100 as a unique access point (by plugging in an Ethernet cable to your physical LAN) and you can use the unit as a Wi-Fi-to-Ethernet bridge by connecting an Ethernet cable to the unit and then to a device (such as a video game console with an Ethernet port). There’s a whole lot of useful functionality packed into a very small container here.

除了提供Wi-Fi扩展，EX6100还具有其他一些非常有用的功能。 该设备内置一个千兆以太网端口，除了Wi-Fi扩展之外，您还可以将EX6100用作唯一的访问点(通过将以太网电缆插入物理LAN)，并且可以将该设备用作Wi-通过将以太网电缆连接到本机，然后再连接到设备(例如具有以太网端口的视频游戏机)来建立Fi-Ethernet桥。 这里有很多有用的功能，它们包装在一个非常小的容器中。

The EX6100 is an 802.11ac device and supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. Read on as we run through the setup and speed tests.
