NETGEAR - AC750 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender
- Key Specs
- Wireless Standard: AC (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Form Factor: Plug-in (The size, arrangement, and physical configuration of the product.)
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Antenna Type: External
- Number of Antennas: 2
- Number of LAN Ports: 1 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- Number of PoE (Power over Ethernet) Ports: 1 (Allow connection of a single cable that provides both data connection and electrical power (Power over Ethernet).)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

- Installation guide
Q: what is the range on this device
A: My house is 2200 SQR FT and the total property is 8200 SQR FT. The router is about 200FT away from the range extender inside the house on one end and the range extender is on the opposite side. There are several walls separating the router from the extender. By using this product I now have full internet access in and around my house with no problem.
Q: Does this unit have to be plugged in to the same electric circuit as the router is in?
A: This unit does not use the power line for a signal path. It receives the wireless signal from your router and amplifies it, thereby extending the range (place where there is still a good signal from the router and it will cover your dead spots) or in wireless access mode connects to your network with an ethernet cable and then works as a wireless hotspot.
Q: Will the AC 750 Wi Fi range extender work with COMCAST
A: Yes it works fine. The speed depreciated a little...and yet I can stream video and other large downloads with ease. The software makes it pretty easy to connect to the comcast router.
Q: Using more than one to increase range?
A: It would give you wifi signal, however, each one has a different wifi name. You would have to reload wifi in each area. It's better than nothing I think.
Q: Will this work between two buildings 50 yards apart.
A: I use it between my folks house and my motorhome which are 40 to 45 yards apart with a strong signal.
A: Sure worked for me. Living upstairs and the opposite end of a huge home my laptop did not get the best signal. Not now with this booster. I might as well be hard wired to high speed! The improvement is just what I needed. Hope this helps. Price is great and picked it up the same day I started looking for something. Good luck...... Buy it!
Q: can I use this for wifi without having a internet provider?
A: No.. you must have internet... that was what I thought too. big mustake. you can get your neighbor to set it up for you if they have internet and it will work on their router, and give you a strong wifi in your home.. but they end up with the extender and you might want to work something out with them.
Q: will this work through concrete walls
A: Yes if you have a wifi signal in the room you want to put it in.
