Poor wifi in middle and back of apartment away from main router/modem. This device added power and range all the way to back porch with proper placement.
Pretty easy setup but I have used Netgear before...
Very satisfied with results and price!

The extender was easy to setup. Downloaded the app recommended and followed the prompts to setup and was a success. Loved that the device kept the same SSID name as current wifi signal and the wifi signal reach the area I was having issues at, so I accomplished in providing wifi to area that was not getting internet access to.

I received the product and the installation to my network was exactly as advertised. It was easy to accomplish. The unit extended the signal as I was led to believe. I have nothing negative or "constructive" to offer. The staff at the store suggested this item to solve a signal strength issue and they were correct

Mostly easy to setup...the app got stuck at one point and had to factory reset it to complete setup, but otherwise good. For obvious reasons the extender isn't quite as fast as being connected to originating router, but distancs was food. We needed this to extend signal fr one end of a 2500 sq ft house to the back yard for a projector, and it fit the bill perfectly.

Easy to setup and get started. Installed the application, followed the prompts and was able to connect my devices to the WiFi right away. I’ve been using it for 3 weeks with no issues so far. My house is a quad level, WiFi router is on 2nd floor main level, I set this extender up in lowest level basement. Now all my devices on the lower 2 floors are connected to the extender flawlessly and my 2 upstairs floors are connected to the WiFi router. I wish I would have purchased this sooner.

Forget 'ease of set-up'. Per instructions, NOTHING CAME UP TO ASSIST in the Netgear Nighthawk App. Took a call to tech support and deliberate walk through (including deleting and re-installing the App-ugh!) Still, set up now. Remains to be seen if it fills spotty reception in adjacent garage. I remain hopeful.... moving on

I needed Ethernet ports for video streaming devices that had fluctuating wifi signal strength. This solved the problem perfectly.
The setup instructions pointed to the Netgear app, but following its minimal guidance, that did not work at all, multiple attempts. However, I knew how to use the easier WPS connect from the small extender it replaced, and that did the trick, nicely.
Day-1, I’m pleased, but I’ve learned any network system change often makes mine a bit funky for a while. So far, not an issue. Knock on wood. A positive, there are four Ethernet ports for future expansion if needed.

This wonderful piece of equipment save me from having to pay a monthly charge for a second modem and a second monthly cable charge. I was able to set up an office room in the farthest area in the house from our current modem. Wasn’t sure if the distance was going to be too far but the Netgear Wi-Fi extender works like a dream.

Quick and easy to install. I was worried that this would be hard to install and go down soon after. Great unit! Still working strong and we now have internet throughout the entire area!

I got this to replace an old extender that was starting to lose connection frequently. I had recently upgraded the main router to a Netgear wifi 6 router and wanted something compatible with the wifi 6 standard so this was perfect for that. upon setup, I realized it how amazing it was to have a singe wifi name again for my 2.4 as well as 5ghz spectrums! The quality improvement across all my devices in the home was immediately apparent and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Setup was a very quick and easy breeze and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a high-quality extender that doesn't break the bank!

Once I was able to find the “sweet spot” to place this, it has worked well. The set up seemed easy, but it took a few attempts to get it to connect consistently.

It did what it was supposed to do but I feel like it lacked everything I needed I have 1gb download and I knew getting that same speed would be impossible but getting only 150mbs sometimes 170mbs was not for me I understand that it is till a fair amount but for what I need no thanks. SETUP: I also have xfinity at first it was complicated but fairly easy to set up when I realised just plug it in then just go to the website on the back of the extender then from there continue but make sure your connected with the extender when doing the setup.

No more bad spots in the house. Netgear created a winner with this one. Our 2 & 5 G connections have never been strong and having to work from home and homeschooling are streaming better than ever before.

This extender has optimized my game room for the best experience. I've experienced a lot of connection issues over the past several years, but since I have purchase my extender I havent had any less than the best connection. It was easy to set up, convenient in size, and it has a beautiful shape that doesnt make placement of of seem gaudy. The ability to manage it from a mobile device is very convenient and all you have to do is plug it in. Every step is very self explanatory from the beginning.

Needed to expand my wifi to hook up a Ring camera, The Netgear-Eax20 ax 1800 helped me accomplish this. Hookup was a little difficult, but now not only does my ring camera hook into my wifi, but also all the other devices in that dead area of my house work great, A real bargain
