Using this extender inside a building with concrete walls. No issues with low signal or blind spots. Bought a second unit to cover outdoor area.

Extremely easy to setup and works perfectly! It took only about 5 minutes - 10 minutes to get it working and now I wish I would have done it sooner.

We rent a studio and the wifi was very weak. Even though the modem was near our unit, trying to stream shows and live games was a nightmare because of the poor connection. I went to purchase the NETGEAR - Nighthawk AC1900 and our tv watching days have changed!! this product is phenomenal!

Very easy to setup and integrates right into the nighthawk app. I was able to get normal download speeds into a room that previously was barely getting a connection. I tried going the cheaper route of power line modules but that gave me horrible results.

Setting up through the app took time. I set it up in the hallway of my single story home. I have 3 bedrooms, man cave and 2 baths. 1597 sq ft. No dead zone exist any longer. I would definitely buy again and highly recommend this product.
Note: My home was built in 2011 with metal based fire walls. This extender has boosted the signal from my Frontier 1Ghz router, that's located in the kitchen. Thank you Best Buy.

Easy to set up, worked pretty well in most spots. The only issue is that the ethernet connection to my digital audio streaming device works intermittently and i'm not enough of a network person to debug the issue

Plug it in, press the buttons on your router when you see the light, press the buttons on your extender and you now have a better signal on the other side of the house than you had before. It was so easy to set up it was working within 3 minutes out of the box.
It carries the same password as your router if you do the permission link button. Otherwise just put in the password through your IP.
Even if it is unplugged and plugged in elsewhere it still works right away.
As a connected online devise be aware of security and privacy matters. The information is out there. Pun intended.

Our existing WiFi would not reach the irrigation controller on the back of our house, no matter how we configured our existing system. The Nighthawk extender filled the gap, allowing complete control of the irrigation system from our mobile phones.

After years of having a super router but an out of date modem, I bought this range extender and a top line modem. Both are now paired to my Apple Extreme 5th Gen router. I have full house (3400sf) coverage now, even though my router is at an extreme end of the lower floor (worst possible placement). I placed this range extender in the middle of the upper floor and it fills up the opposite (away from my router) end of both floors. No issues. No dropped connections to router after about 6 weeks. Have already recommended to a friend who's also had success with it.

Works well once fully connected. Install was not as easy as advertised as numerous times the modem and mesh router could see each other but not ‘speak’ to each other. Finally, it worked after multiple attempts. Has good range and seems reliable so far.

We needed an extender for a stronger WiFi signal to enhance a new remote camera system and a Geek Squad Tech installed this for us. It’s made a huge difference for us to have a strong, reliable signal to keep our camera system on line!!!
