    As far as I can tell it does not do anything. The lights light and it shows up on my list of available wifi networks...but choosing it does not increase the range appreciable. Tech support only assistance was to tell me it was my wifi providers problem and they would have to fix the lack of a wifi signal ??

    We went to use it and it kept shutting down for some reason....It took me about ten days to figure that out and then another week to get it returned to the store to find out there was a fifteen day return policy.... I threw the thing in the trash can and left.....

    After plugging this in and setting it up (which was a nightmare on mac, had to switch to windows laptop) it actually cut my network speeds in HALF. Returning this as fast as I can and will NOT be getting a new Netgear Extender. What a piece..

    Purchased this online. After a month the 5Hz signal started fading out. When I contacted BB tech support for exchange I learned it was “discontinued” by Netgear. So, I’m stuck with using only the 2.4 Hz band.

    I read the reviews and thought this extender was going to be a great guy for adding extended coverage throughout my 1600 sq ft. house, but the reception stayed the same and I do not recommend this product.

    This so called range extender could not connect to my network either wireless or wired even when placed right next to my modem. Called the manufacturer and could not get anyone who could help. This did not bode well so I returned it

    When I called customer service they were extremely unhelpful. When I finally set this up none of of wireless devices were able to properly connect. The range of the product appeared to be short as well. I would not recommend this product.

    This worked great at first. Was running well over advertised speed then died after only 25 days of use. I had it on a surge protector and would not power up. Oh well. Now to deal with Netgear support.
