    This works well as long as your Internet does not drop. I need to reboot it about 50% of the time when there is a ISP interruption. I have it handlined to two PCs and also use the Wi-Fi for my garage computer. They all run great. Their Night Hawk Android app isn't great though. I would rate the app at 2.5 stars out of 5.

    This extender does it's job but the app didn't quite work out for us during the start up phase. Pricy but worth the money compared to less expensive models.

    Paired with my D7000 Nighthawk modem/router this thing has Uber range! Have quite a large house with 4 levels and did have a few weak spots in corners of home such as garage and where the Nest cameras are located. However I purchased a second one to pair and have had absolutely no coverage issues including being able to have some connection as far as 50 feet plus away from the home. Just awesome!!

    I've totally forgotten what it was like having to find a spot in my house I could talk on my cell or that I can have wifi water sprinklers out back in the yard that connect so easily. And I'm under a metal roof which made it hel* to get coverage across my 1800 sq ft house. So both are Night Hawks and seamlessly work with each other.

    We already had the X6S router but signal strength at the far in of the house was lower than we liked and outside it was really low. Once connected and configured we went to 100% anywhere in the house and are getting low 90s outside anywhere in the yard. Well worth getting. With two phones, Blu-Ray, Fire Cube, various smart home devices all on Wi-Fi we are seeing no slow down on data speed.

    This device was so easy to install that I thought it wasn't working. Upon checking the admin after running the auto setup, sure enough it was all setup perfectly. This has helped extend full strength 5GHz to the edges of our house and beyond. As an added bonus we have wired the basement pc into one of the included ethernet ports and it has significantly increased its network performance.

    As an extender of my existing Nighthawk router, the setup was very easy and the signal is strong for both bands. It doesn’t support SNMP and the interface is very basic. But for a great expansion to the in-house WiFi it works great.

    I had been using Orbi system for last few years...felt like with the new XFINITY speeds, my Orbi’s just were not measuring up. Glad I took a chance; both the Nighthawk router and the extenders have worked great, consistently keeping me close to the 1gb download zone. Very happy with purchase.

    With everyone in the house at home either working or doing school work online my wifi was straining. Ordered and received the Nighthawk when promised. Took it out of the box and had it set up and running in just a few minutes. My office connection is now working very well, video calls are not freezing anymore, connections don't drop anymore.

    I purchased this Extender due to having a poor 5G signal downstairs at my house, after installing this I now have a near full signal were my dead spots use to be, I even have fantastic signal outside on my patio. Note: I placed this were my weakest WiFi signal was downstairs. I was a little skeptical about his even working but am now happily surprised.

    Most would say don’t get an extender. But I figured I’d give it a try. I placed it 65ft away in my barn (closest possible place) and all of my HomeKit devices synced up and worked better than ever. Mission accomplished.

    Needed to improve weak wifi in our 2800 sq ft home. Already had a Netgear R8500 tri band router but just not enough signal strength throughout the whole house. The unit was easy to install and using existing router names and passwords transparently made it that much easier to set up. Now all the 4K tvs can stream with ease.
