    Difficult to sync to our Nighthawk router, somehow kept timing out during setup. Also have an issue with it stopping signal randomly and we have to reset it manually weekly. We had better signal with just the router. Would not recommend.

    I just wanted to be able to play online games on Xbox, which is in the other side of the house from the router. It doesn’t work. Called netgear tech support twice. Didn’t fix it. And I was told the Ethernet port can’t be used to run internet to the console it’s only to wire the extender to a router. Doesn’t even make sense. Doesn’t work. Don’t buy.

    I attempted to use this with my Velop mesh. Every time I plugged it in. It brought my network to its knees. I had to return it quickly and not spend time troubleshooting as Best Buy implemented a horrible 14 day return policy. This will greatly limit what I buy from Best Buy in the future

    I was very disappointed with this unit. It was clumsy to set up, and dropped the signal more often than the router did on its own. Returned and replaced with a mesh system.

    I was hoping this would help increase my wifi connectivity on the other side of the house, but it didn't work. The modem is on one side of the house and I wanted to use my wireless devices on the far end. Well 3 walls later and about 100 ft, and no deal!

    Worthless

    Don’t buy, doesn’t even work. Put it next to the router, 30 feet away and everywhere in between with no change in speed for devices needing it. Also took 3 hours and multiple tries to get it to setup. Kept failing in its last step. It’s junk, not even worth the time. Then again it’s netgear and their quality is pretty low.

    Junk. Hook up but my download speed was cut in half. I spent a lot of time on the phone with net gear techs and they could figure it out. they told me to bring it back. I did and no luck with a new one. I ended up just getting a pod from comcast. problem solved and it was the same price

    Finally got this thing to work, but the network always drops. Also the speed is almost reduce by 50%. It’s pointless to use this. Connecting directly to the router was the only way.

    Sadly, this equipment had no impact whatsoever on our situation. Since we missed the return by date, I foresee it being a garage sale item in the future.
