    Fairly straightforward set up; very strong maxed out four bar signal. Has a soft glow, so with lights out, it announces its presence.

    It did what it was supposed to do but I feel like it lacked everything I needed I have 1gb download and I knew getting that same speed would be impossible but getting only 150mbs sometimes 170mbs was not for me I understand that it is till a fair amount but for what I need no thanks. SETUP: I also have xfinity at first it was complicated but fairly easy to set up when I realised just plug it in then just go to the website on the back of the extender then from there continue but make sure your connected with the extender when doing the setup.

    I had used several other extenders, they functioned, but were difficult to setup. This EAX20 was so smooth, quick and easy. Less than 15 minutes and it was in place permanently and doing the job. It is still functioning without further re-connection issues and greatly improved the streaming services, like Zoom and Webex meetings, It provides great connection speed and the installation was upstairs from where the router is installed. Good fair price for the extender, too.

    When I first set up the Mesh Extender it worked great but by day 2 it was barely working. After some troubleshooting, I realized I had plugged it into a power strip which I believe was messing with the system after moving it to a wall outlet it has been functioning perfectly and had a blazing fast single throughout my whole house.

    It was easy to set up and could be moved anywhere once setup was completed. Goes network more range and allows you to have 4 nearby wired components for older items like tvs or older blue ray players

    Needed to expand my wifi to hook up a Ring camera, The Netgear-Eax20 ax 1800 helped me accomplish this. Hookup was a little difficult, but now not only does my ring camera hook into my wifi, but also all the other devices in that dead area of my house work great, A real bargain

    I don’t really have anything negative to say about it. My apartment is pretty big and this thing was about to pick up signal from my other router on the other side and kept a decent speed. One pro to it is the 4 Ethernet ports on the extender. So far I haven’t had any dropouts in connectivity, but sometimes moving from one side of the apartment to the other can present issues with my WiFi connected devices. I think this is due to the fact that my devices stay connected to it when I walk to the other end of my apartment. Overall, I would suggest this to a person that’s looking for a great WiFi extender.

    NETGEAR Signal Booster - BIG WINNER!!

    After falsely suspecting issues with our new Vizio TV, it was a failed network connection from the beginning. A hidden modem/router in our closet (new construction) was guilty of obstructing the network signal. Following a Geek Squad tech visit, a single wall between our new TV and Wi-Fi box was responsible for the weak signal. We then turned to the Best Buy sales associate who identified the problem, saying we probably need a signal booster. Yep, that was the issue all along. We purchased the NETGEAR Range Extender to boost the weak Wi-Fi signal and lived happily ever after. So, 5 FILLED STARS for this product. I'd recommend two things: reach out to Best Buy staff or a Geek Squad specialist then go with a trusted brand like NETGEAR for your Wi-Fi network connecting solutions! Thank you (again) Best Buy Beaverton Team!!
