Customers value the AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender for its ease of use, significantly improved Wi-Fi range and signal strength, resulting in better overall performance and coverage. Many appreciate the straightforward setup process. While some find the price a bit high, the positive feedback on performance and range outweighs this concern for most users.
If you have a big area to cover with wifi and 1 router isn't enough then this extender is probably for you. Where I went wrong was that I wanted to increase the signal level in our family room. At the time I could only get 1 bar out of 3 from my router, but adding this didn't help. It isn't what it is designed to do. You really need to use it for areas where you don't get ANY signal from your existing router. It creates a separate SSID that your devices will not automatically switch to if they still see the standard router. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, not because I didn't understand how it was supposed to be used, but because of throughput. Once I had it installed I ran speed tests on both my router & the extender connections. Even though the router was at a low signal level it still pulled in almost 90 Mbps whereas the extender with 100% signal was averaging around 5 Mbps. I ended up returning it.

I was very surprised when the router I bought for our home was not powerful enough to reach all the way to our room. I have always supported the Netgear name, so I decided to stick with them and just get a WiFi Booster for our home. I am so happy I did because it has allowed all of our devices to work with peak performance and functionality. Only reason it is getting 4-Stars and not 5-Stars, is due to the fact that I even need this device in the first place. I live in a mobile home, not a 4 story mansion. Nonetheless, it is well worthy of a 5-Star due to how it has made internet use in my home easier and stress-free!

Placed this on our first floor because Century Link router was in basement and was not getting enough signal to the second floor. Was very easy to setup just follow the directions and now we have coverage everywhere.
