    The device is very simple to set up and provides a good boost to an old house with poor reception. I was able to find the ip from my phone when connecting to it and directly wired it to my pc for more configuration, made setup and maintenance a breeze!

    Bought this because I couldn't hard-line my console to my wifi router. Set it up, and it works so well that I forgot I even have it. Zero issues, love it.

    Netgear extender works great. I use it mainly to strengthen the signal to my home office which is the farthest away from my router. I have no issues using multiple devices in my office now.

    Setup was a breeze. Works great and uses the same wifi name so new extra SSIDs or switching between connections. Smooth transitions between zones that you don’t even notice
