Score: 83/100Rankings
The D-Link E30 AX3000 delivers Wi-Fi 6 speeds up to 2403 Mbps and covers up to 1300 m², making it a powerful extender for large homes. Its lack of a pass-through power outlet and weaker 2.4 GHz band are trade-offs. Best suited for users who prioritize high-speed 5 GHz coverage and modern security.
The Netgear EX6400 is an AC1900 dual-band mesh range extender delivering up to 1.9 Gbps and covering roughly 929 sqm, with MU-MIMO and beamforming for strong multi-device performance. Its single Ethernet port and occasional speed drops under heavy load are notable trade-offs. Ideal for large homes needing extensive coverage.

Professional reviewers view the D-Link E30 as a budget-friendly Wi-Fi 6 extender that delivers respectable 5 GHz speeds and easy setup, but they note its weaker 2.4 GHz performance, larger size, and lack of a pass-through outlet.
Everyday users appreciate the E30's ability to extend Wi-Fi coverage in multi-story homes and its quick, hassle-free setup. Praise centers on the noticeable improvement in signal reach, though users have not highlighted major drawbacks beyond the standard hardware size.
Professional reviewers, such as Tom's Hardware, view the EX6400 as a solid mid-tier mesh extender that benefits from MU-MIMO, FastLane and beamforming, delivering reliable performance at a reasonable price, though its 1.9 Gbps ceiling and single Ethernet port keep it behind Netgear's premium EX7300.
Everyday users praise the EX6400 for its reliability, easy setup, effective dead-zone elimination, and seamless roaming, while common complaints focus on occasional speed drops under load, limited wired ports, and occasional app connectivity glitches.
“The E30 performed well in a double-story house, successfully extending coverage to the front of the property when placed at the opposite end from the main router.”
“The extender took approximately one minute to reconnect after being moved and powered back on.”
