    My router is in the basement so the coverage on our second floor was poor. I purchased this device and it was super easy to set up and we now have full bars on the second floor with no loss of speed. Highly recommend this product!

    This is way out of date how are they even allowed to sell this to people with 5g internet connection it only recognizes 2.5 connections. both best buy and netgear should LET you input your carrier and router before they let you purchase this. I have an older one from tplink that didn't work great after spectrum switched all their routers to 5 (removed 2.5) and that one even worked a little better than this. will be returning it (it's also sorta hard to set up, but I guess all extenders are).

    This WIFI extender did not work as I was expecting with my Xfinity Comcast Modem - It may have well worked with other ISP or After-market routers, but for me. I have the 100 Mbs service from Xfinity

    This product works fine but there's a BIG flaw in the instructions. If followed as written you are sent to a scam site that will pretend to be NETGEAR and help you install but want to "dial in" and check things and then try to get you to pay $400 to clean your system. VERY BAD. I found how to avoid this site by hacking around and finally got it installed on my own. NETGEAR you need to address this in your setup guide. I checked the web and this is a known issue that hasn't been taken to task. Good product, easy fix but you should be addressing this issue and suing the heck out of these scammers.

    Bought two. Thought it will solve my problem. It solved it on some days, but most of the time it losses connection from the main. I have XFINITY at home so I’m not sure for other providers.
