Device was super easy to set up and get configured! And made a huge difference! I live in an old apartment built back in the 70s and it has concrete walls so Wi-Fi coverage was not good towards the back of my apartment since my Wi-Fi router us towards the front. This extender made my coverage so much better and now I have consistent coverage all over the house and Internet doesn’t drop! Highly recommend!

WiFi wasn’t reaching upstairs very well, so I bought this mesh extender. Now I get the same speed upstairs as downstairs. Installation was easy, but I did have to experiment with putting it in 3 different plug locations before I found one that worked best. Good experience for much less $ than buying a completely new mesh system to replace my standalone router.

Easy setup. Extends network an extraordinary distance. So much nicer than older versions

Not a big tech guy here. I just needed a stronger signal from my router that was located in the basement (long story).This gadget did the trick. It was very easy to get going. The app worked as it should. No hang ups. I’m actually contemplating getting another one so I can hardwire to it. Something I picked up on YouTube.

The extender worked as expected! Setup was easy. I like the WiFi mesh system it will jump between the router and the extender without any hesitations. The netgear app worked well with set up. Btw I also have this paired with a nighthawk AC1900.

I have solar and the reason I bought this was to make the signal I have from where the router/modem combo is at go to the solar. The signal strength near the extender is good. But, when you try to connect the wifi to the solar it barely has any signal. Mind you, the solar inverter is on the same wall as the wifi extender. Just one is on the inside and the other is outside. Also, i get signal from across the street to my wifi.

Bought this yesterday since I needed to move my older Orbi CBR40 router to a room in the corner of my house, and my connectivity at the other end of ~3,000 sq. ft. was not as fast as it was previously. As soon as I installed the extender (which was a breeze) in the stairwell directly in the middle of the house, my download speeds jumped from 114 mbps to 184 mbps in the basement and off of the deck on the other end of the house. Also, after the setup, you still only have to connect to your original wireless network (i.e. it doesn't spin up another network that you would need to switch back and forth from) which makes it seamless. Doesn't take up much room either and still works 'upside down' since all of my outlets are flipped due to code in my area. All in all I am completely satisfied!

Description: I used the extender to connect to my security system. My router didn't have the strength to reach outbuildings. The Netgear mesh extender is easy to set up and easy to place.

Very handy for people who aren’t technically advanced and can almost be considered plug and play. Just download the app and connect after a few easy steps

The extender works great! The installation instructions were very simple to follow. It looks sleek and unobtrusive in my dining room outlet too. I feel more confident with our WiFi capabilities now.

Excellent. Works on gadgets that i have here in the house

This product is great. My WIFI was horrible upstairs but once I bought this the WiFi upstairs is amazing.

My WiFi range could never reach my pc until I got one of these and smacked a Ethernet cord on it! Boosted my download from 15mb to 300mb+

Works great doing exactly what I needed great price

Terrific wi fi signal increase and expansion of field Streaming performance is great and smooth internet!

Need to extend WiFi in our home! Worked as described! We even have coverage outside on our patio!

Fantastic device. Improve my wifi connectivity when far from my router. Very pleased.

I’ve been using the extender for over a month now and I have to say I’m impressed by its performance. I’m forced to use DSL and it’s not even fast DSL (I live in rural Maine, so I’m lucky I’m not back on HughesNet). I wanted to drop DISH and use a streaming service, but my Samsung Tizan smart TV couldn’t maintain a good WiFi connection. I had used an older extender that only boosted 2.4GHz and I hadn’t seen any real improvement. I live in a 960sq ft ranch. Not a huge house for coverage. I decided to give a range extender another chance before I dropped DISH. Installation was straight forward and only took a few minutes. It was far less complicated than the other model I used before. This extender is also able to boost 5GHz too. I’ve never been able to consistently use that speed due to its range limitations. I stressed tested the connection and used the 2.4GHz for the streaming service for 3 days straight and used the 5GHz for my computer, Switch, IPad, IPhone, etc. I also live in a cellphone dead zone so I rely on my WiFi connection to make calls. All worked well and I never had a hiccup with the streaming or cellphone services. I was able to say goodbye to DISH and save myself considerable money each month.

Performance and range prior to this I had extenders through my cable company, which did absolutely nothing. The Netgear system I bought, which is mid range not the most expensive covers all three floors. There are no dead zones. Anyone who wants additional range and it’s not technologically savvy like me this is the product for you.

Our older home has tons of brick and masonry walls that seem perfectly designed for blocking wifi signals. We had tried various solutions over the years including the use of wifi extenders, but with limited success. We then solved the problem with a Netgear Orbi mesh system, which works great throughout the house. But, there was still a dead area outdoors... We wanted to have reliable wifi signal to an outdoor security camera, and the brick walls just weren't permitting that. After some research, and trusting Netgear products, we got this AX1600 extender. In short, it works perfectly and extended the wifi signal where it needed to go. Instead of having to buy another mesh system satellite ($$$) that takes up a fair amount of room, this one is a straight plug-into-an-outlet type that saves space, money, and headaches. Simple to set up, practically plug and play. One great thing about the AX1600 is that it uses the same router name and password as the router, so you don't need to hassle with those stuped 'NAME_EXT' kinds of things I've seen (and had to use) before. Instead, it just adds another spot to the mesh system. Pretty cool, especially since it works so well. This extender also has easily visible feedback on the front to tell you how well it's receiving signal. Ours is green all the time, indicating strong signal, so that's great, and the outside device is reliably connected these days. We're very happy with this extender, and are kind of amazed at how well it solved the problem!
