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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    I was advised by my cable company to purchase for a better price than they could offer an extender or repeater to get internet to other end of my house. Went to Best to make sure I was getting right product and came away with NightHawk for $100+. I spent two different evenings trying to get it to connect and it never worked. Not one number or email help desk to be found on paper work or box. I also checked online. No different instructions and no help desk number. Since it had a 15 day return policy, I did not need a $100 paper weight and returned it back to store. They really should have instructions for those of us who try to be handy but really only understand the basics.

    Pretty easy to set up but as far as range extension is concerned it hardly does the job. Without it, the router range is about 600 sq ft. With it operating, there is about a 20 more sq ft coverage. Hardly worth the expense. It also does not work with the Spectrum router. I actually had to buy a Netgear Nighthawk router to make it work

    Easy to set up but that’s the only good thing about this product. Doesn’t increase the range all that much and keeps randomly knocking every device that is connected to my network off causing me to have to re-connect them.
