“Does this have to get a good WiFi signal to extend the range? For example I want to use this in my bedroom where the WiFi signal doesn’t reach. Could this only have one bar of signal but still send out a full strength signal”

You don’t put it in the room where the signal is weak. You put it within the range of the router with decent strength that will reach the room you want to cover. To answer your question specifically, no. It will give you the strength of signal that the extender gets. If the signal the extender gets is no better than your device it does not “boost” the signal. I had a similar WiFi problem and I placed the extender in a hallway near the room that I wanted to cover. Now I get full house coverage. The only issue is that it is technically another network with its own login. My devices won’t jump networks until the signal becomes unusable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You want to put it in good view of the router your connecting it to so u have a clear wifi signal and it will give you good signal to the area it's not reaching might not be full bars but might be 3-4 bars which is good
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Actually... just installed mine. Original router is in my detached office. After setup, plugged the Netgear into an outlet just about halfway between original router and other side of main house (where I need signal). So. original router separated from install location by three walls (one cinder block) then another wall to use location and I'm getting great signal. Impressive.
