    I couldn't get the extender to connect to my apple router. Had to return, I would rather have kept it.

    I was having trouble setting up so i called Netgear for help and they wanted me to pay a "one time" fee of $110.00 to set up this mesh extender. I only paid $80 for the Device. I am certainly not paying $110 + $80 for the Device. I will be returning this crap to the store Tomorrow. Very disappointed.

    Love this little signal booster. My main bedroom is quite far from the main router so this works perfectly for getting me a stronger signal.

    I purchased this for a 2400 sq ft home because I couldn’t even watch Netflix without buffering (the modem is upstairs). So frustrating! It still buffered even with the extender. I moved to several locations in the house and still no luck. Returned and bought the netgear Orbi mesh system. No buffering yet. We’ll see, it’s only been a week.

    If I could give this product no stars I would. I purchased this extender back in September. It worked at first but then it began to disconnect from the router. Since then I’ve had to reset the device and reconnect to the router every other day. Netgear claims that it’ll work with any router, this is false. I have tested it with different routers and that is certainly not the case. It is now November and the product no longer works.
