    When I first installed the extender I had problems. Every day I had to bring the unit back close to the Nighthawk router and re-sink it. I finally called Netgear and was told to reset my router, after that , no problems. I wish the instructions included " reset your router "

    Replaced a cheap range extender with this X4S mesh extender. It was supposed to cover around 1500 Sq Ft. My small ranch home is about that size. I had to be 20-30 from my router to get a hard signal and it didn't even reach my back bedroom with a strong signal, much less my attached garage becks up to this bedroom and signal was not strong enough to keep my GD opener app connected. This might be OK for a small apartment but not me. Returned it for the X6S that covers about 1000 SqFt more, so far it's not bad. You figure it's 2500 Sq Ft from the unit not 2500 Ft in each direction. It also has a fixed plug, if your outlets are not up & down it won't sit up correctly. Was going to buy the AC1900 but the salesman talked me out of it, maybe because it cost more.

    I needed this to get wifi to a video doorbell. It was easy to get it to register the wifi network and then placement in our garage which is down the stairs and at least 100 feet from the router gave good reception. Have had it for 1 week and it works well. No complaints.

    OK for an Extender, but not a Mesh

    If you're looking for a Mesh wifi router addition to your existing network, this isn't it. This device works OK if you simply want an extender, but it does not work with your network to make it a true Mesh (same network name in the extended area).

    I was a bit skeptical that this unit would work because it did not have a direction antenna but Tommy surprise it worked great! I was able to get a signal over 85ft from my house. I highly recommend for interior use!

    I bought this but didn't really realize a difference. I'm pretty sure I had it hooked up correctly but definitely not worth what I paid for it.

    One moment I have “excellent” reception/placement then without moving or using WiFi it indicates I need to move it closer to router. Not much increase in coverage. It appears to work but I wonder.

    I bought this because I needed an extender and wanted a Mesh one. This one was recommended by a BB salesman. I bought it and set up and have been satisfied with it's performance so far.

    I have had other Wifi Extenders in the past but was never satisfied with them. After a recent move, I got this one and have been impressed by its simple setup and incredible range.

    Needed an extender for our security system because of the way the house was wired. This was a perfect fit. Sales rep was very helpful on choosing the right product.
