Great to extend wifi range
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy setup with the mobile app. Do the initial setup in the same room as your wireless router. Once that's done, it's important to place this where your wifi signal is still good. ALL of the lights on the extender should be green. Extends both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. This accomplished what I wanted- extending the wifi signals to areas of weak coverage.

Excellent Extender
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our wifi tends to only connect in the house. We purchased a ring floodlight camera that required a wifi connection. I googled best wifi extenders and netgear was the first brand to come up. The setup of the extender was easy and once connected, our entire driveway now has coverage. The ring camera operates as it should. Will be purchasing from netgear going forward.

The right choice for our home and system.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As of one week in, we believe this extender was the right choice for our home and router/modem. Greatly extended both 5Ghz and 2.4 Ghz bands on the main level of our home. The full-bars (like the icon on your iphone) signal was extended about 15-20 yards farther into our home than it’s original range. The two-bar range was extended even farther than that. Moderately extended signal in the basement although not as well as on the same floor the extender was on. The extender works with the wifi networks you already have, and the it doesn’t add any additional networks like some extenders do. The nighthawk app that you download to set the extender up and manage it is easy to work with we think. As of right now, I would definitely purchase another of these models for our home or as a gift. Note—wifi still slows and range does decrease during peak hours, however—as expected.

Works as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My router is in the basement. I was having trouble picking up the Wi-Fi in the garage and front door. Therefore, I couldn't set up my Ring doorbell. I picked this up and plugged it in at the top of the stairs in the hallway by the entryway. It worked great. It has even helped pick up a stronger signal on the back porch. I can't give it five stars yet because I need to make sure it holds when I really need it. It was a little tricky getting everything set up but not terrible.

Compact dual band access point/range extender
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed to extend my 5GHz wifi range with something that was discrete and could be hidden behind furniture, and without trailing power wires. This Netgear Nighthawk range extender does the job well. I'm using it as a WAP, so have it connected to my wired LAN through an ethernet cable to my router. Only small issue is that the ethernet socket on the bottom edge makes it a little tricky to install a cable if you are using the other power outlet. If you have a regular plug in the other outlet, the ethernet socket is partially covered by the plug. I got round it by putting a swivelled 3-way adapter in the other power socket so that the plugs face downwards instead of outward (see photo). Works great and completely hidden behind a cabinet.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s on the pricier side but it’s worth the money. I originally bought this to extend the range on some Wi-Fi cameras. It’s extremely easy to use and the app has some cool features. It doesn’t add an additional Wi-Fi name so that’s a plus. I ended up putting the extender near my work computer and so I plugged my ether cable into it. Pretty nice feature.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs this device simple to install? Just plug in to electrical socket? Having problems with service in parts of a large home and bad towers in the area.
Asked by Johnnny11.
- A:Answer It is not complicated to install but it is not as simple as just plugging it into an electrical outlet. If the intent of your decision to purchase this product is to extend the range of your primary WiFi network - you will need to know how to connect to your primary WiFi. E.g. SSID (Name of your network) and password. If you know how to connect your phone and other devices to your WiFi, you have the ability to set this extender up. The instructions will direct you to plug it into an electrical outlet near your current WiFi (usually built into your modem) and direct you to connect either a laptop or phone to the default SSID for the range extender via a URL. From there, you will go through a simple setup process that will connect the extender to your primary WiFi. When you are done, you can unplug the extender and plug it into a outlet that is approximately half the distance from the location you need better coverage in and it should turn on and automatically connect to your primary WiFi if you configured it correctly. However, while relatively easy to set up and less expensive, I would advise that you consider a mesh extender vs. a range extender like this one. The main reason that I recommend the mesh extender, which is more expensive, is that you do not have to switch back and forth with different SSIDs. For example, if your primary SSID is "ALPHA", this range extender could be configured with an "ALPHA-2GEXT" and a "ALPHA-5GEXT" (or other similar name) but it cannot be the exact same SSID as your primary WiFi. If you travel back and forth in your house with a device like your phone or laptop, you will have to switch to use the WiFi with the best signal in your home. With a mesh extender, the SSID remains the same name and you don't have to switch back and forth with different SSIDs in your home. If you can afford it - go with the mesh extender (also just as easy to set up).

Q: QuestionWE had this for a week and it worked great. Today the connection to the router dropped and we have tried every area to reconnect and even tried with an ethernet and next to the router and it will not reconnect to the router...anyone else have this happen?
Asked by Flipper.
- A:Answer Try unplugging the extender and the modem for a minute and then plug them in and check that he lights on the extender are working. Power fluctuations can cause your problem.
Answered by TeeDub
Q: QuestionDoes this use the same SSID (wifi network name) or does this create a new SSID (different than your home wifi name)? I read somewhere that some wifi extenders create a new SSID.
Asked by DK.
- A:Answer It creates a new SSID with the suffix "EXT" for extension. It is dual band so actually creates two new SSIDs - one for 2.5G and one for 5G.

Q: QuestionI've installed an AC1900 that covers about half of my house really well. Can I install a second AC1900 in a different part of the house to extend the signal to other portions of the house, like my garage?
Asked by AC1900x2.
- A:Answer My coverage using one greatly expanded. I would think using a second would achieve coverage you are looking for.
