    After 1 1/2 hours on the phone with a Netgear tech he decided it was defective so I never got to see how it performed.

    Decent extender. If you do not care whether you get a 2.5 GHz or 5 GHz, this should do the job in improving your signal around your home. Otherwise, I would prefer a more expensive with broader coverage.

    Nice extender. This is the second one that I have purchased. My house is spread out on one floor with a lot of linear footage so the wireless access was a bit weak at one end. This fixed my problem.

    Older extenders aloud you to hardwire them to your router via ethernet. This ethernet is for hard wiring a device like a game console or laptop. I purchased a second router to do what old extenders used to allow.

    This wifi range extender has not worked for us. It was difficult to navigate the initial setup process and, once figuring out the setup, we were still not able to connect devices. The range extender shows a good signal and uses the same password as our original router but then says unable to connect when trying connect our computers or cell phones. I have tried to fix this multiple times and it has been very frustrating

    I purchased this wifi extender a few weeks ago to add coverage on the upper level of our home. What was once a limited and slow connection now works as well as being next to the router.
