    Does the job. Keeps the internet running quickly in my living room. 1300 feet away from the source. I'm impressed. It's improved the connectivity outside as well. I am glad I bought it.

    I bought this WiFi extender to make sure my kids get the best internet on their computers for their distant learning, and this product is the best, specially when I connected them with a Cat8 Ethernet cable. Fast and reliable.

    I recently upgraded my router to a WiFi 6 Nighthawk RA200 router. This was the perfect accessory to fully extend my signal to cover my large home. Now I get high speeds throughout my home with a seamless WiFi experience.

    I have set this up on my wireless network and I can unplug it and move it anywhere and it will keep the information. For instance I can take it out to my garage for events or just to mow my back 40

    I’m using this to extend the range of my Netgear AX8 router. Setup was simple enough and it does a good job of extending the range of our WiFi to cover the rest of the house. I’d recommend it!

    Maybe has potential. Big feature missing.

    In good conscience, I can't give this extender a 1-star rating even though that's what it was worth to me. I purchased it because I had very successfully used previous versions of it (EX8000 or whatever other name they called it). I expected this model to be even better, and I think it definitely has that potential. However, one very essential feature that I required of this model, just as provided with the EX8000, was the ability to create a guest network. Nix. Doesn't have it. Perhaps never will. Why in tarnation would Netgear simply remove (with no findable information of that fact) a feature they (and every other router/AP/extender manufacturer) provide in all sorts of other networking products? So, I tried contacting Netgear to see if, just maybe, they intended to provide a firmware update that would fix this omission. That turned out to be a totally hopeless endeavor. Their email tech support was just plain abominable. I asked that single, very simple one-sentence question. No one would believe the different responses I got, all of which failed to even approach a simple answer. I gave up and returned it. Bottom line, I've liked and used many Netgear products for many years. This experience has left me wondering if I'll bother trying anything new of theirs in the future. Again, I think this extender has great potential, but if they make decisions to remove features without notice and then provide just plain awful tech support, why would anyone buy it. Now, if you have no need for using it to provide a guest network, maybe you won't mind paying the price that I had to look past to allow myself to purchase it. Good luck!
