Pros: Easy Setup, Compact Form Factor, Name Brand Recognition and Reputation, Bought it to get my ADT security camera on my wifi network. It was up and running in ten minutes. After the initial setup, I moved it a couple of times to get it out of the way and each time i moved it, it immediactely flound the network. Con: On the expensive side.

With both my wife and myself working from home internet access has become even more important than pre Covid. Her work needs require her to plug her office phone into an Ethernet connection. Where she is working though is no where near our router and moving either her or the router was not a desirable option. Initially we solved this dilemma with a 50' Ethernet cable running through our house. Not through the walls, but on the floor, along walls and down the stairs. I put throw rugs over it to protect it and prevent tripping. I read that the NETGEAR - Nighthawk X4 AC2200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender had an Ethernet port and decided to give it a try. Once set up we plugged her phone into the port and it worked. Her computer is connected via Ethernet from that phone. When I ran a speed test on her computer vs my computer which is a desktop plugged directly into the router I noticed only an 8% drop in speed on her computer. This is negligible and has had no noticeable effect on performance. I found it to be just a bit finicky when setting it up and found using an Ethernet cable for setup instead of WiFi worked better for me. Once set up though it has worked flawlessly for just over a week now.

I added the access point/ extender to my existing Netgear system to provide reliable wireless service in my garage and hopefully in our yard. It works fantastic. I would recommend this unit to anyone who desires reliable, strong WiFi signals. And it was super easy to setup!

Works as expected and was easy to install and get working right away

My hime is not too big 2200 sq feet but my router was in the basement and I had horrible speed upstairs. I set this up last night. Set up is a bit of a pain but I figured it out. Instructions leave out a lot of details. I placed this in the spare bed room next to my office. Previous I had spotty coverage with downloads of 50 Mbps download and around 2 Mbps upload. This morning I turn on my computer in the office and do a speed test. Holy Hanna!!! What a difference. Yes , happy with this purchase!
