    This Wi-Fi extender was very easy to set up. I live in a 2 story condo with the steel beam between the 1st and 2nd level for hurricane support. My signal was bouncing all over the house. After installing the EAX20 my Wi-Fi signal is very consistent and strong throughout the entire house. Highly recommend!!!

    I bought this for use with an arris wifi modem. After being on the phone with tech support it was discovered that this unit Incompatible with the modem. I didn't return it because I have another setup at a different location where I have a nighthawk wifi router. It works but I can't seem to get a solid connection [amber light indicates a weak connection] with the router despite following the directions multiple times.

    I had a older Wi-Fi extender that worked, but it would cut out occasionally. I've had this one for three months so far, and it doesn't cut out and extends my current signal much better than my previous.

    The EAX20 Extender exceeded my expectations. I was able to use it as an access point by turning off my router Wifi radios and use the EAX20. I centrally located my EAX20 using a Netgear Powerline 2000. I now have Wifi-6 5Ghz coverage throughout the house without replacing the router (and added cost).

    This thing works like a charm! It has extended by wifi coverage well over a football field length. Easy set up, and I like that it has the same SSID as your existing wifi. Buy it, you will not be disappointed!

    Did a little research and asked a few of the employees at the store prior to purchase. We cut our cable last year some time and the streaming was adequate and we never really noticed a big difference until we recently rearranged the furniture and moved the TV a few feet further from the router. We started having time outs and other poor signal issues. I purchased this Netgear AX1800 WIFI extender and hooked it up to the TV. I downloaded the application to my phone and did the setup using my cell phone. We noticed instantly that not only did it clear up any time out or streaming issues the quality of the picture and the color was great. Not only that this product will handle an upgraded router if we do that in the future. Great purchase.

    I bought this for the detached garage. This item will be part of Asus rounter and exciting Asus wifi extender. I already got enough signal for garage cameras but not strong enough to software update for Tesla. Netgear worked very well with Asus rounter, and now I have a much better wifi signal in the garage. This product does not work in the first place. This product is not plug and play, and no instructions are included. The Netgear app is kind of useless but provides tech support phone numbers inside the box. I called them and took about fifteen minutes to fix all the problems. Superb tech support I have ever talked. I love one wifi name feature and desktop style, not plug in.

    I’ve purchased other extenders and have had to return them because they didn’t work as anticipated. This one actually extends out the existing wireless network. Another good feature is that it can also be used as an access point if you choose to want to set it up that way. Simple setup.
