Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to pair with your home system. In our case it is synced with Arris Surfboard SVG2482 modem. Modestly priced, functions as expected. Note: We are not using it for gaming, so can't comment on that use.

Setup should have been easy, following the instructions, but it was giving errors saying my wifi info was wrong and then after several failed attempts, having changed nothing, it connected to my wifi and hasn't given any problems since. Other than that it seems to be working as intended.

The Extender was fairly easy to configure to my network with a cable modem and improved my speed and signal however i had trouble configuring it on a different network the instructions i thought could have been more descriptive good product over all.

At first, I was really frustrated with my new AT&T Fiber connection. It would disconnect several times a day which knocked off all my VPN secure connections while trying to work from home. I called AT&T several times, had technicians out to my house at least three times, trying to find the root cause of the disconnections. I finally read an article that said modern WiFi 6 routers will automatically attempt to reconnect with devices that have a weak signal. I thought that this might be what was knocking out my connections. So, I did some research on Best Buy and decided on this unit as the best features at this very reasonable price point. I installed the extender about halfway between my work laptop and the fiber gateway. No more disconnects! So the technical problem that several support people and field techs were unable to solve was simply a weak signal. I was so happy with my first extender that I bought another one just like it to help with the signal for my PS5. I can now stream cloud-based games at full resolution! These extender units rock! I'm really happy to have made the investment to increase the reliability and speed of my network! Everything really is, now, blazing fast and rock solid. Thank you, Netgear and Best Buy!

The range of this Mesh Extender is amazing. I have just 2 small issues. 1.) There is an error in the quick start guide. The directions tell you to plug into the extender and connect to its LAN. Then it tells you to sign into NetGear, but you can't because the LAN has no internet connection. So you must call to get it set up. But my rep, Robert, was excellent. 2.) Though the range is greatly extended, it sometimes confuses the router and takes a couple minutes to connect. Other than that, the benefits of this router far outweigh the two small inconveniences. I recommend this product.

Good for the purpose of purchase. I do wish there was a manual reset button on the unit. There are times the Wifi that it is connecting to loses Internet connectivity but maintains a network connection. When the Internet connection resumes at the main box, it does not always reconnect to the Extender.

Rock solid performance and simple to set up. My old wifi extender was only delivering speeds around 10-15 Mbps while I get almost 500 Mbps with this one. I haven't had a single issue with it except my kid keeps taking it out of the wall.

I must say this item did the job! I was having a hard time with my connection stabilizing while using multiple systems. It was recommended that I purchase a Mesh Wall extender. I was unsure which one to choose- however the staff member at the store was able to help me. He suggested this one and I will tell you , IT WORKS! I have not had one single issue since using this. 4 stars instead of 5 because set up was cumbersome and not as user friendly as expected.

Moved into a larger place and our wifi had some dead spots. This completely solved our problems. We already owned a Nighthawk wifi router and this Netgear extender worked perfectly with it. The app found it and now we don't have any dead spots. I would recommend and buy again.

I was able to make a direct connection to my ps5 using an Ethernet port and could finally play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone with my cross platform friends. It was easy to set up and its design looks clean and simple. Would definitely recommend this product for people who have a large house with the router stuck on the opposite end.

This Wi-Fi extender has exceeded my expectations and fulfilled all my requirements. It has significantly enhanced my online gaming experience. I no longer encounter substantial lag during multiplayer games. My download speeds have substantially improved, enabling me to stream content without any issues. Despite paying for 600 Mbps through Spectrum, where I primarily spend my time gaming, which I consider a dead zone in my home, I was only receiving approximately 80-99 Mbps before purchasing this product. Since implementing the Wi-Fi extender, my connection speed has increased to around 300 Mbps, which is sufficient for my gaming and streaming needs. It is important to note that I am primarily a console user, playing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. Therefore, my experiences may not be representative of others. However, I highly recommend this product to anyone experiencing poor internet connectivity in specific areas of their living space. Currently, I reside in a 1,250 square foot townhouse with three levels. My router is located on the main floor, while the extender is situated on my upper level.

The mesh extender has been good so far. The set up was easy and connected well with the system already in place. My WiFi signal has been stronger and more consistent since connecting to the mesh system. I also have a netgear router. Being able to view the network status and connections for both devices through the Netgear app is nice and user friendly. One note, I originally had the extender behind a cabinet. The signal wasn’t as consistent as I expected. I moved the extender to an open area and it has been fine since then.

Works as directed, easy set up and the app is easy to use. Great product

Purchased this Netgear WiFi extended to replace a much older Netgear extender. Experiencing stronger WiFi signal and faster speeds with the AX1800. Very satisfied with results.

I had a dead zone in the house, this solved the issue for the most part. It’s fairly reliable, signal does drop at times. The set up was easy and it’s pretty inexpensive

Easy to install and setup. The Netgear EAX15 AX1800 improved signal boost from weak to strong according to my Chromebook. Great product for the price. Would highly recommend to anyone needing to increase wi-fi range or increase signal strength.

Used this to extend the range of my outside security system and it really works perfectly. I do not have to worry about it - it just resets itself if there is a power outage. Works perfectly with my Orbi system

It worked as advertised. but tech support at netgear took three calls to tell me the correct config settings

Bought this about a year ago since our wifi completely dropped in certain areas of the house. It worked amazingly until about 2 days ago where i think a power outage might have fried it. Definitely going to be purchasing another one.

Needed better reception in my living room as my Netgear router is across the house in the family room. The extender did the trick.
