Netgear Nighthawk Approved!
This product exceeded my expectations. When my old extender died out I began doing research to help me decide which item was best for me. First, the coverage is massive. I no longer have any dead spots in my house regardless of where I go. Second, I can use the same log in and password from my original modem. It makes it very easy to remember. Third, it's not an eye sore. It's not plugged and hanging off the wall. I put it in the center of my house next to cable box and sometimes forget that it's there. I would highly recommend this product if you want to have an easy installation, hassle free experience, and extended coverage of internet in your place.

Good extender, does the job.
I had to extend my WiFi from my living room out to my garage and I saw this at a local BestBuy and bought it on a whim. Turns out it's actually pretty good. The setup is weird though, having to count on the timing of WPS setup, it never really felt like I was doing it right, and often it seems like it takes forever to get feedback that I did do it right. And since it extends my WiFi, sometimes it feels like I am not even connected to it, but after deeper analysis, I am connected. I guess it does its job well as it makes the extension seamless. My Garage, which originally could only get (maybe) one bar of WiFi now gets all the bars. I would consider this too much on the pricey side, but it works, and I am happy. To make this better I bought a simple bracket and mounted it up on the wall, it looks pretty nice up there.

Solves the problem of connectivity
My home is very large and spread out. This device enabled me to have Wi-Fi in every area of my home.

The cure for "sluggish" & blind spots
We don't live in a big house, but from the place where we're obliged to place the router we use to the location of our primary living space and smart TV seems like 'a bridge too far' especially for streaming. With this unit, the frequent freezes and dropped connections are a thing of the past. This unit using just its 2.4 GHz band improved reception and viewing markedly! Soon I will upgrade my 3-year old router to one that utilizes the second (5 GHz) frequency. We are an Apple household.

Good router - some issues
This router is being used in a small business with around 10 users. All are using wireless access and need consistent speed performance. I think this router will deliver. My issue is regarding remote access. It appears that's only available through Linksys' "SmartWifi" program. This just adds a layer of difficulty. Would much rather use dyndns service. For this reason, I would not recommend to a friend.
