Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this router to use as an additional access point to our already existing AT&T Uverse WiFi network in our home. The NETGEAR unit was hard wired to our existing Uverse WiFi router. The unit was set up in the basement to provide a solid WiFi signal, provide streaming capabilities to a flat screen and WiFi coverage to an adjacent patio area. The wired signal from the "mother" router would be passed through the NETGEAR unit and sent to another computer upstairs. Instructions are apparently something NOBODY includes with anything ...especially tech devices. Rather than having something to read purchasers are forced to use the "handy" user-friendly app ...which is neither. There is no way to access this router's settings using the traditional web address ...you have to use the app ...which is a serious pain. Try as I might I could not get the app to set up the router as I wanted and wasted about an hour in my efforts. To be truthful, if you're using the router in a conventional manner, the app will probably work just fine but I wasn't. I needed to set this router up as a portal ...an additional access point to our existing WiFi network ...and had to make specific changes to it's default settings. Eventually I was able to configure the router to my use, but only after downloading and printing the .pdf for the full manual off the NETGEAR site. There is a wealth of usable and clear information in the manual; it is substantial. Once I had the manual I found the section on how to set it up for my use; it was quite simple. The frustration with using the app made setting the router up even more maddening once I got the info I needed and how *easy* it was to configure. The router has been up and running fine for the past five months; it works great. Signal strength and speeds are good throughout the basement and adjacent patio. The data rate is robust enough allowing clean streaming via the wireless Roku on the flat screen. Overall this is a nice router hobbled by an app that for some users is useless and frustrating to use. While I understand the "ease" of using this app for non-techies, the option to easily access, via web address, the internal settings of the router should still be offered for folks who know what they're doing.

Sleek design and easy to install. Reaches all corners of our house concrete walls and all. Highly recommend this router!

Easy setup. Good signal strength and range. Highly recommended

I connected to the model and completed the set up using the computer instead of the suggested App (I didn't want to install another App on my phone). The installation was pretty easy and the signal seems to be strong enough to cover all the rooms

Overall, I am very happy with this device, the range and signal strength on this device is amazing.

I bought this to replace an old 802.11 G router that died. I was back up and running in less than 10 minutes. I now have a stronger signal throughout the house and a good signal on the deck where I previously could not connect.

In my old house this router works very well. I get a strong signal throughout the house and back yard. My house is all wood though, a more modern house with metal structural components may not have the same results.

The router works well in my two story home, providing strong signal throughout. Works fine in the garage and front yard but have not spent time in back yet to test it.

I bought this to replace my old router, it for sure works much better and the signal reaches further.

This is my 2nd Netgear extender for my home. I have them at both ends of my house and I get great signal strength throughout.

Needed a better connection since our old one was so outdated. Couldn’t complain great signal.

Very good product . Great signal to all devices in the house .

Gets the job done! Needed a router that would have strong signal in the whole whouse.

Make sure to hold Best Buy to Price match! Overall after installing this router we have been pleased. We elected to cut the chord so we stream everything now. This router is the heartbeat of that operation. Understand that I'm a retired network professional. Setup was pretty easy. Documentation could be a bit better because certain assumptions are made that may or may not be true. MAC filtering is a bit different although it does work well. Great range as the router is located on the second floor and we have three levels. Signal never drops below good or 1st and 3rd floor or at the opposite end of the second floor. Especially 5.0 Mhz band. Overall, good router, easy setup and good range for under $100. And you can "tweak" it to maximize throughput!
