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.

    Not sure what I think of this extender. I bought the Net gear EX6250 a year ago. It went belly up about 4 weeks ago, so I bought this unit. However, it is inconsistent. It is not so problematic with working on my laptop, but streaming TV is a bit annoying. it buffers quite frequently and sometimes dumps the streaming service altogether.

    The wiring in my home was not right for this product so one part of it could not work? Other than that the rest of it worked perfectly.

    Really difficult to set up. Not user friendly. Never could get my device(s) to connect. This is the second Netgear extender we've tried. No more Netgear for us. I gave up and bought a MUCH simpler and cheaper extender which was easy to set up, connects to my devices and works like a charm.

    Extends the wifi range just enough, but I found it more difficult to set up and had to use tech support.

    Purchased for pick up - store was busy so Elvis told me where to find the unit and bring it back so I could check out. Once home it was fairly easy to hook up and seems to be doing the job as intended.
