Verified Purchase:Yes
I was told that this product had the strongest broadcast /signal strength available for the product type. Therefore, expected a stronger signal. In addition, security encryption protocols were somewhat limited.

Does this use the same SSID (wifi network name) or does this create a new SSID (different than your home wifi name)? I read somewhere that some wifi extenders create a new SSID.

No, you create a new SSID.

Hello, does the Netgear 1900 compatible with the Netgear 1200 which I am currently using with the Spectrum Ubee cable/wifi modem which runs at 2.4 and 5? In other words can I have both wireless extenders in different part of our 2 storey home?

the short answer is yes. There is one caveat I can think of, however. Remember that two network devices can not share network type resources (eg rp address)
