    Did not work well at all for me. The highest mbps I could get out of them was 25. I’m outside of the return window so these are now stashed away in a box in my basement. If you want “wired” speed internet without running Ethernet cable you should look into moca adapters. They work wonderfully.

    This is a must buy. For anyone who does not already know trying to find a Wireless signal booster that actually works well with Comcast router is hard to find. This signal booster by Netgear rocks, was easy to set up and actually interfaces with Xfinity. However do not go cheap, I had to return my less expensive Netgear signal booster for the more expensive version. It's worth a little more money, you get what you pay for.

    This did not do the job for me. The connection was so unstable and for most of the time my computer wouldnt recognize that it was even connected to anything. Maybe it was just my house. Purchased a wireless range extender instead and it worked perfectly.

    Terrible. I got this device hoping I would get better speeds in one of the bedrooms I work from. We have 1 Gig internet speeds and I was only getting 250 Mbps with my wifi router and was hoping to get more speed with this device. But I got maybe 75 Mbps throughput on this. Not happy with this so I returned it. Not sure if it had to do with the age of my electrical infrastructure or what, but this didn’t work well for my setup.

    Fastest achieved speed was 40mbps on a 1.2gpbs internet connection. Tried this on every electrical outlet, made sure all lights were green on the device and on the same electrical circuit and STILL got horrible speeds/latency. Ran a 25ft CAT6 cable to my desktop directly from the Xfinity modem/router and got 1gbps speed with 30ms max load latency. Returning this product today. Would not recommend this for high speed connections.

    Was sold on this product because the BestBuy team member said it was very, very good and worth the price. And it was definitely not. Does not work as I expected it to. My internet is still contained to one side of my home and this doesn't seem to make it any better. Should've just purchased a new modem/router instead.

    You dont really get 1,200 MB/s. The max I got was 1.9 with nobody else connected to the Wifi. Although, Its good for gaming I Hardly ever get Lag spikes and that deserves a star.
