This device worked well to extend signal inside a metal walled office, (with door open), where signal had been poor, or none. I was quite pleased to note that this Netgear device worked with two laptops running Linux Mint operating systems, which i switched to recently. No configuration necessary to run in Linux.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is the same reason I bought mine. Router is downstairs and the WiFi did not reach the Xbox upstairs. This more than did the trick.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will if you place it correctly. Just make sure all the lights are on on the extender. That will show the signal strength.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I replaced my cheapo TP-Link extender ($19.99) with this Netgear extender for $42 and I'm VERY SATISFIED. I have a Roku 4 that can output 4K to my Sharp 70" 4K TV and have the Fios Quantum Gatway router from Verizon and my Internet speed is 50/50 Mbps. Unfortunately my router is upstairs and the Roku 4 and TV are in the basement so I could only get about 12 Mbps over WiFi from the Roku 4 in the basement (4K needs about 15 Mbps). So, I set up this Netgear extender, ran an Ethernet cable from the extender to the Roku 4 and now I'm getting about 30 Mbps in the basement and the 4K signal looks AMAZING on my TV. The difference between 4K and 1080p on a large TV (60"+) is noticeable and I have to say House of Cards streamed through Netflix in 4K looks even better than it does on Blu-ray with my PS4. I highly recommend this extender, but use with Ethernet cable for best results when streaming.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello, This should work well if you are streaming movies and videos, just be careful not to connect too many devices to the extender, you will see poor performance and slow speeds.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I live in an old house with plaster walls and my router is on bottom floor and I put extender on top floor. Even with a couple walls in between I have full signal in all of upstairs rooms.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Our ROKU operates great off our extender signal.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've found the extender to have really good range, partly because it has external antennas. Wireless though always works best going down so you will be fighting against that. If you have a middle floor, you may need to place the extender there. You want the extender to get a strong signal from your router (which it indicates with a green, amber, red light system) but also want it far enough away from the router to not cause interference with the router. We live in a single story house so I can't speak to how well it will travel up. With wifi sometimes all you can do is test and see if it works.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
