    The extender was easy to install on my second try at it. Iim able to move it on different floors if necessary when the kids arrive and want to play down in the family which is 2 floors down from the modem. Once it stabilizes in a location, the signal is strong in either 2,4 or 5.0. I’m keeping it. Thanks for a helping hand with my Xfinity slow connection.

    We got this wi-fi extender because we needed to boost our modem’s reach now that we’re all working from home. The modem is upstairs so we put this extender downstairs and now our internet service has been much more reliable and faster. We might get another one for another part of the house.

    I had issues with wifi in a bedroom due to placement of wireless router. Bought this to "Boost" signal in bedroom. Setup took a little effort, but not too bad. Signal is much stronger now with the boost in place.

    fairly quick wifi. Only issue is it would continuously drop my VPN connection, so I ended up drilling a hold in my floor so I could run an ethernet direct to my modem.

    Easy to set up and works ok but the range is not great, would not extend to a bedroom 30 feet away on the same floor, basically down a hallway. Had to move it directly below the bedroom in the lower floor to work properly.

    My internet wouldn’t reach all the way to my room so I needed something to expend the signal. I decided to give this product a shot and it was the solution. Now I’m able to stream movies and play video games! Did not affect my interned speed at all.

    Extender and "non" Nighthawk routers

    Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the AC1200 to extend the range of my AC1750 (C6300) Netgear router. My router, bought in 2017, is not of "Nighthawk" family. The AC1200 marketing info says it works with all routers... The setup instructions for the router involve using the Nighthawk app. I downloaded it on my iPhone and quickly found out my router (C6300) was not supported. I had to use my ethernet cable/MacBook to find the info I needed to set up the extender. Set up of the extender with the Nighthawk app was not straightforward. I had to return to the Netgear site for more instructions. After using the info, I could get the extender to recoginize the router. I had great signal, but did not have internet access. The third time was a charm. I was able to get access to the area I need. But, the wifi shows up as "Mesh" on PC and then the correct name on my Mac. The problem may be of my 5-year old router. I know wifi security has improved since then, but I found it distressing to have so little info from Netgear on this matter. Seems like Netgear products would play nicely together. I am leaning toward a new router with a larger coverage area. I would then return the AC1200. Bottom line - the unit seems as if it will work well with the Nighthawk family. Other systems may not be successful or reliable.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
