    This extender did the trick by making my upstairs router much more efficient in both speed and the ability to "run" my "smart home" including all downstairs sockets and outside landscape sockets.

    While it's easy to set up, the unit cuased disruptions instead of better coverage. Before I installed the unit we never lost internet connection. 24 hours after installing it we experienced service disruptions multiple times per day and loss of connection to Alexa and smart lights. As soon as I unplug it, the errors stopped.

    Difficult to set up with phone, needs to be able to set up with computer. Cannot actually use all the fancy features due to in ability to actually connect with extender. Have not reached out to Netgear to resolve issue.

    - I can’t tell if my isp or this product is a joke - I’ll try and update as soon as I get a proper “install” of internet services (as opposed to dropping the equipment off and telling me to wait a month for an install).

    Although this product would work great for most houses, it was lacking at mine. I ended up going with the Orbi 6 mesh system to create a true wifi throughout entire home experience.
