There are quite a few. The AC750 uses a different wireless standard then the Universal one (802.11ac vs 802.11n). Also, the AC750 has dual band 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, while the Universal only uses 2.4. For the average home user the AC750 is overkill as most computers coming from Dell, Toshiba and other big box suppliers aren't coming equipped with networking cards that support the extra speed and range of wireless 802.11ac. I'd go with the Universal if you are an average home user. If you are above average there are other dual band range extenders that may be cheaper or the same price that isn't using the 802.11ac standard. Likewise, if you are a power user, on the cutting edge of technology and know that your card is capable of 802.11ac and would like the new technology, then the 750 is great! Any questions about wireless standards can be found by searching about it on Google or Wikipedia.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello, The first Universal extender is for a Single Normal b/g/n wifi signal and has limited number of deices you can connect to. The AC router offers 2 separate signals, I use one of the signals for my Cellphone, (LG G2) Dell Tablet etc, the other I use it for TV and Game console (PS3, Xbox) etc, Not every deice is compatible with the AC signal. Why have 2 Signals ? Like I mention, you have a limited amount of devices you can connect per signal. I think is work the extra $$ for the AC router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Netgear Universal WiFi Range Extender broadcasts the a/b/g/n WiFi standards, while the Netgear AC750 broadcasts the newer ac standard. Most WiFi-ready equipment uses the N standard (or something older), so unless you own a device that's capable of receiving ac wifi signals (and you have a fast enough internet connection that'll let you see the speed difference), you're better off with the Universal (i. e. non-ac) extender. Ac-capable routers still run in the +$100 dollar range, so unless you already own one, it's best to hold off on ac extenders.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Netgear AC750 Wi-Fi extender has more band width.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The universal is N300 single band (2.4 GHz), can do 802.11 b/g/n and can go up to 300mbps speed. The AC750 can do 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, can do 802.11 b/g/n/ac, and can do 750 mbps speed. Check your router to see what it can do, compare it to the specs on these. For example, if you have a N600 dual band router (2.4 and 5.0 GHz), the N300 extender will only work on the 2.4 GHz frequency. N600 router with the AC750, it will see 802.11 n from the router, and can be dual band (2.4 and 5.0 GHz). N600 cannot broadcast ac, so you would not use that benefit. Basically... find the bottleneck on your router, buy the product that matches your bottleneck. In the case of an N600 router, I would buy neither, I would buy an extender that is made for N600.
