    For the price, I expected much better coverage throughout my home. I placed the Nighthawk so close to my modem they were touching and still couldn't get the Nighthawk to make a good connection with my Cox Communications router, DTC4141. The app was horrible and didn't match the instructions that came with the device.

    Save your money, or get an AC2200 extender

    Early adopter curse? Not sure, but man this thing has had problems on and off from day one. Every kind of authentication problem. I've factory reset it, deleted/re-downloaded the Nighthawk app, tried both the app and WPS setup, but still it's just a $280 paper weight. I previously had the AC2200 and just wanted a little more wifi strength as we've had latency issues when my son would be on the Xbox One and I'd be trying to stream Netflix in a different room. The headaches from this made me happy that I didn't give my AC2200 to a friend. I've had a bad enough experience to take time to write a review. Avoid this product.

    Instead of buying this buy a real mesh system. Bought this twice and took it back both times. Unstable and slow. Not worth the headache. Lynksis Velop is a better option

    Nighthawk Extender review

    Couldn't get this product to work that well. I even brought the RAX200 router to work with this. Sometimes the devices I had plugged in via ethernet would lose IP address allocation. Would have to reset the extender and just became a hassle. Had product for a week and took both the extender and router back. Replaced with Netgear Orbi Wifi 6 mesh system. That seems to work considerable better if you are trying to do a true mesh versus the other approach of buying router and extender separately.

    This is not for a beginner. I took me a few times to get it to work. If you have the geek squad to install it. It worth the money
