    I have not been overly impressed with it so far. It doesnt seem to be doing what I had hoped it would do.

    This product actually slowed my WiFi speed down. I bought another extender by Netgear that was actually $20 cheaper and it works awesome! I thought that maybe I could use them both together but once again when I plugged this one in it slowed the WiFi speeds actually in half from what I was getting with the other extender alone.

    Bought this to extend a Nighthawk router/modem and I couldn't tell if this actually did anything to extend my range. Actually gave up on Netgear altogether and switched to a TP Link mesh system. Don't even bother with an extender, especially this one.

    Biggest Piece of Crap. A complete waste of Money. You are supposed to be able to bypass the 2.5 speed rating, but it will not allow you to. I even did the setup next to the router. I have better wifi coverage and service without the Nighthawk than I do with it. I wouldn't recommend this to my enemy!

    Not happy at all. In fact, i returned it. Never could get it to work.Their customer service was no help. If you try to downlad the app they mention, you get someone from India and they want access to your com. Don't waste your money or time.

    I bought it to improve the signal in one bedroom on the second floor (the wireless router is on the first floor), which had a very weak and slow signal. It did not work at all. It made the signal slower. I later bought a Mesh system that works wonders for my needs.

    The product purchase did not work. I was unable to return it to Best Buy. The manager stated that we were unable to return electronics because of your 14 day policy. For I am now stuck with a product that does not work that cost a $129. You have lost a loyal customer.

    I bought to help with the WiFi signal at my house. My router is in my living room so my bedroom WiFi is weak. I do not love in a giant house so I was told this extender would work. I was wrong. It constantly kicks you off. You have to log in over and over again. Any device used was the same issues. Don’t waste your time or money.
