    After two years of having a long cord, running from their rooms to my Internet box, I had been on my kids to find something that would help their computers or gaming systems run better now I am not Tex savvy, and I went to Best Buy to ask and explained my situation what I’m trying to do And I will be honest I started with the eels box that didn’t work and then I got this Netgear piece now the kids were determined to tell me that it wouldn’t work now I started reading the instructions. I downloaded the app to my phone and did everything it was supposed to do and got it working. It was all green take it to the boys room. Somethings, not right it’s red, so I check his computer the network because instructions say to use the 2G for this device and the boy had not been using that so as soon as I connected it to the TG wireless Internet thing, it started working people I found something that finally worked this Mama❤ is happy just to have the cord off the floor. The children are upset because they wanted the Court to still be on the floor. Thank you Netgear you saved mini lives and folks from tripping over a cord.
