- A: Answer1. No, your router does not have to be Mesh; mine is not and the Extender works great. 2. No, you do not need to plug an ethernet cable from modem to the extender. In fact, all you have to do is plug the extender into a 110 electrical plug just a little distance away from the weakest area. In other words, just a little distance away from the area you want the wifi signal improvement and follow the instructions on the app you download to your smart phone. Where you plug in the Extender, therefore, does NOT have to be near the router...........just near the weak-signal area.

- A: AnswerI would definitely call their customer service. I would not leave it out in the elements. You can plug it into a wall near outside where you want to be but I would definitely not plug it outside in the elements.

Works as it should
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.

Awesome extender
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.

Solved my problem of 3 years
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+
