    I have done everything. Netgears web help is useless. For 10 Months I thought it was working because all the lights were lit up green...not amber, not Red, not off, but Green, WPS seemed to have connected it to the system and the documentation said that was the indication it's working, but the connectivity was still very weak and thought maybe my router just had a bad signal.

    I have never had any luck with Netgear hardware. Lots of people are very happy with it. Me... It just never works like it should. I spend hours fiddling, resetting, trying something different, etc. And then when it does work, it resets and I am back to hours fiddling, resetting, trying something different, etc. It could be me.

    I heard from friends that this is a great range extender, but I could never get it to work properly. I am technology savvy and never have much trouble setting up and using new devices. The net gear range extender connected to my network, but my devices could not find the signal. Returning it to bestbuy. I cannot recommend this product

    I had two of these, and they both were abysmal. Well, to be honest, one of them worked just long enough to be out of Netgear's free customer support limit (3 months), it stopped functioning just two weeks out of that timeframe so to get any customer support I'd have to pay. I'll never buy another Netgear product. I went with an Asus router which is working perfectly!

    Horrible product, have to constantly reset to get it to work. Does it’s job but constantly resetting isn’t too convenient. Not good for online gaming due to signal dropping constantly. Will not buy again.

    I had very fast speed when I initially installed this booster, however, 2 weeks later the signal slowed down significantly to a point that we stopped connecting to it and we reverted back to original signal ... can’t recommend it!
