Customer Ratings & Reviews

I choose to have GeekSquad install this product for me. They did an excellent job and taught me something's for the future. Simple plug and play style install and great strong signals

I was having printing problems due to weak signal - router downstairs and wireless printer upstairs. I bought this at Best Buy after talking with Sales person there. It wasn't hard to set up, and I immediately got a much stronger signal for printer; problem solved !

Have been using this router for 5 years. And i will have to admit it has been one of the best i have used.

I bought this because one side of my house just wasn't getting any wifi. This thing is awesome and has allowed for the whole house to get wifi service and at the speed we are paying for finally. Before getting this we were only getting 25 mbps and now we are getting 100 mbps.

My router is connected to a hub in my basement and it wasn't giving me the output I needed for majority of my Wi-Fi appliances. With purchasing the Netgear nighthawk I immediately saw a difference in my signal bars for all of my equipment in receiving Wi-Fi. SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!

I was able to extend the range of my Wi-Fi to the other end of the house. (Two-story cape cod). The signal is very reliable through the extender, it has not disconnected from the router. The setup was extremely easy to do - following the instructions.

Bought this to improve an older NetGear extender due to distance from router. Only set it for 2.4 as I was looking for range with stability for printers, Ring Doorbell, basement water detectors and smoke alarm or ocassional smart phone, iPad, and laptop use when further from the main router which is both 2.4 and 5. Very strong and reliable. I did not update the firmware based on many other reviews that had issues after updating.

Very easy setup and works great. I get a clear 2g and 5g signal in the basement now. My only complaint is that my nighthawk router has a convenient setting that makes only one network show instead of separate networks for the 2g and 5g - then whatever you connect determines which to use automatically. This range extender splits that back out so now I see 3 networks- the original and an extended 2g and 5g. I would really prefer to see only one, but that is a minor annoyance. I got a deal on this extender and am happy with the performance.

Overall this range extender is amazing. Our WiFi signal now reaches the street which is perfect for streaming music in the front yard. The simple setup process is a breeze. The only issue that I have with this extender is that it is not a seamless hand off between the main network and the extended network. Any time your devices move from one to the other is has to obtain a new IP even though the SSID is the same. Overall though I am very pleased with this unit and would highly recommend it.

Great Range extender. Installed in minutes and gives you the ability to compare the signal strength side to side. Great for large houses with brick walls.

This product was very easy to set up and significantly extended the range of my wifi router. I tried other extenders but this one is far superior.

We bought this to get wi-fi from one end of 3400 sq ft home to the other across apparently solid walls. The extended network(s) now cover the entire house. The online interface is also very easy to use.

Netgear's setup manager makes setup a breeze! I have never setup a piece of networking equipment as easily as this. They made it super easy and that's fine with me.

I live in a single two story home and kept having slow Wi-Fi connections, the associate at Best Buy recommended the Netgear, Very easy to install with no problems, we have had no internet problems at all. Highly recommend Netgear, great value for the money.

Decent router that provides a good range for WiFi.

I still have a few non-wireless devices in my basement that needed to get connected to my network in some fashion since my router is upstairs. Hooked this up to my network. Hooked my devices. Everything just worked. Super simply let setup. Love it.

Our cable modem/wifi is set up on the top floor of the house and we were experiencing significant disruption to the Sony Ps4 and the television set up down in the basement, which both have wifi capabilities. I chose this extender because it is one of the more powerful on market and I wanted this problem solved once and for all. We located it on the first floor of the house where it can receive the signal from upstairs and bounce it down to the basement level. The set up was very easy, less than 10 minutes. It works great and data tests show a substantial increase in data flow to the gear downstairs. My only complaint is the power cable has an odd protruding design at the plug end and is easily knocked out of the wall outlet, taking the extender offline. This has happened about 4 times now. Other than that. . . .

I have always been impressed with Netgear products and this wireless gateway is no exception. Easy to setup and configure and it works as advertised. Using it as an AP now but when I upgrade my router I'll turn it into an extender.

This made a huge difference in the speed of the internet when on the lower level. After much ado from my ISP, with no resolution, this was an excellent fix and much less cost than another service tech from ISP coming out again x4.

my Comcast home unit provided abysmally terrible wifi signal in my condo building. the extra levels of bandwidth and the stronger signal made my wifi use at home finally frustration free......
