It works, once you get it set up.
It works fine, if you have the patience to deal with it. I bought this product to extend the coverage to the front part of my house, because the router is in the rear where everything in my home theater system is Ethernet hard wired. I read reviews before I purchased it and when almost everyone said it was hard to set up, they weren’t kidding! The instructor would have you think it’s little more than plug n play with a couple extra steps. Nothing could be further from the truth. I spent several hours trying to get this setup going with the netgear app, and when that failed repeatedly , I ended up doing the web browser setup, which they tell you as a last resort, but it was a lot faster and easier than the app. Also, it didn’t seem to want to save settings if you had to reset it or unplug it and move it for better coverage. After jacking with it for a couple or 3 days, I have it consistently working fine now and I’m getting decent speed from it. Good enough to stream and game. I’ll post a pic from the app of upload / download speed, as it is speed testing built in. If you have to restart for any reason , put your phone or tablet on the Wi-Fi signal rhe exrender generates, and set it up from there. It’ll go much easier. Also, I originally wanted to use it as a repeater, but I had too many problems with that , so I use it exclusively in extender mode. That worked best for me.

It works really well for gaming
I got this Wifi extender for my xbox one cause I had to put the actual router in another room. I still wanted to wire my xbox one so I could play games like battlefield 4 that require a strong and fast internet connection. This product does the job I see no difference when between having it hard wired to the router, and to the NetGear extender in FPS or latency. It's a little probably by 3 MB (which isn't much) so yeah. I still get 80Mbps-100+Mbps, and I have Xfinity Internet so go figure. If I had Google Fiber it would probably be 100 times faster. But those speeds (80Mbps-100+Mbps) are basically the same when I had it plugged into the actual router. So overall it is a product well worth it's price.

Easy, Good WiFi Extender
This unit is easy to use, it is both 2G and 5G extender and works very well. I HIGHLY recommend this extender if you have a blind spot in your home or need to extend your wifi router to the other end of your home or shop.

Excellent Extender!
Definitely well worth the price! If you need a WiFi extender that will work through concrete walls, this is the one for you!

Great Wi-Fi Booster
Wi-Fi signal was occasionally dropping to a streaming device in our family room. Just plugged this into an empty socket, behind the kitchen drape and now we have a strong signal. Easy to install, just plug it in. Lights on booster let you know status. Not too big, but works very well.
