Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the Nighthawk AC1900 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender's impressive range, ease of use, and strong signal strength as significant advantages. Many also highlight the straightforward setup process and generally positive performance, leading to improved streaming and WiFi coverage throughout their homes. However, some users experienced connection issues, and a few reported compatibility problems with certain routers. The price point was also noted by some as a potential drawback.

    Easily one of the easier purchases to make given that it gives anyone the ability to hardwire almost anywhere in the home. Creates lower latency for the new Call of Duty

    With more 'smart' devices in the home, I moved this several times to find the best placement. It does not take too long for it to reset and begin working.

    This works with my AC1900 router (make sure your extender is compatible with your router). Set up did take a bit, but worked it through the Nighthawk app and it was ready in no time. Takes out a lot of the wifi lapses on my TV Firestick. I'm pleased.

    We now have much stronger wifi coverage out on the patio and the deck as well as in rooms that we struggled to work in because of old lath and plaster construction. Not cheap, but well worth it.

    I purchased a different Netgear WiFi extender that didn’t work as well, so I returned it for this product which was recommended by the Best Buy associate. It did the trick.

    I moved my wireless router to the other side of my house from the TV. I needed something to increase the wifi signal throughout the house. This works but kept dropping the signal and I constantly was having to reboot the extender. I returned this and moved my router back.

    I bought this for my wife and she really likes it. She uses it mainly for doing her workouts in the morning with a video workout program. It's the perfect size being an 11" screen and it's a Lenovo which has a very good product.

    Very disappointed. Have owned this for ONE YEAR and everytime we sign on our Roku TV, we have to unplug this unit to reconnect. Have owned several extenders in the past. This is not one that I would recommend.

    Was very simple to set up.. extender does what it claims.. router on one end of the house and signal does not reach to other end.. so I got the extender to fix that issue.. it extended the signal but it drops or disconnects frequently.. (when on a phone it can eat up data fast) after some research it is common on all extenders.. just do your research before.. it can work ok if it is hard-wired. I have not tried that yet..
