    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.
