    You need to be very knowledgeable of computers to install this product. I'm not, so I call the help line and got someone on the phone I could not understand. Product maybe great but instructions are really bad for someone like me.

    To set this up, it seems simple - you plug in, then when light is green, you connect to the extender wifi Netgear_Ext and then do app set up. Well Netgear_Ext does not show up at a network on any of my devics so I can't set this up. there is no solution I saw online - this issue is NOT my wifi network strength. I can try getting an ethernet cable (like it's 2010 not 2022) but why do I need old tech to set up a new device ??

    I was excited to try out this extender, but it was very disappointing when internet speeds weren’t as fast as expected. I had another brand I was testing at the same time, the eero Router works way better!

    I don't know why, but this did not work in my home. Speeds were to slow for any internet operation. I have experience with setting home networks up and this was terrible. I reinstall an old TP Link extender and returned this unit. I even called Netgear tech support which was an absolute waste of time.
