Bad. I’m a pc gamer and I bought this cause my ping would go up to 200. I installed this and the router and my ping reached an all time of high of 1,550. Don’t recommend at all

I tried to move my home to a Netgear setup and regret every moment of it. Netgear support is horrendous. By the time they “verify” that there are issues with your product it’s too late to return them

This does not work. After setup, when you connect - the WiFi isn’t available and internet and/or data will not work while connected to extender. Either I received a bad one or it’s a terrible product.

Purchased this extender because the WIFI in my house was so bad. The customer service rep said you ust plug it in but that was not the case. It was a bit complicated for me. It would only llet me set up the 2.4ghz and was just about usleless.

Really needed better Wifi coverage, got one more room from this and thats it. My printer is now on a different network that my living room if I'm working from the couch. Will be returning it this week and buying a whole house system instead.

I found that this product did nothing to improve network access in our home. Whatever, I gained in distance was lost in performance. I found no value in this product. I recommend that you try a different product, such as a mesh network.

Never worked. I moved it around the house several times. It only picked up Wi-Fi and Internet access sporadically The sales person highly recommend it. My home is 16 50 ft.² and should have been within the usage range. I was very disappointed.

Three different people knowing much more than I did wasted their time on this thing. Last one was a tech who spent an hour & half. One of Best Buy's guys said to get a more powerful wireless router. Great. Oh, and the would/wouldn't just below: RUN AWAY

Didn't really work for me didn't hold the signal very well plus the fact that your phone tries to switch back-and-forth between the main signal and this one didn't really care for it.

It set up easily enough, but we could not get any internet service through this. I even spent 4 total hours on the phone with Netgear and 2 hours with Spectrum. I eventually returned this item.

This did not work out for me. It might be good at a short close distance but from one floor to the other it will not. If you have Verizon fios get yourself the WiFi extender for 99$ call it a day. Works like a charm.
