    Never worked

    Tried to get this device to work with three different brands of access points and it would not work. Spent over two hours trying different WPA, WEP and no security options and it would never connect. I suspect it will only work with other Netgear devices.

    Up and running in minutes, but it did not perform

    Quick set up, up and running in a matter of minutes, but it was under powered, and could not "see" networks reliably. Replaced with anoteher brand with 5 dB antennas that works much better.

    Horrible

    This thing is a horrible product. Drops connections all the time. Forces me to reset my entitle system at least once a week. I just unplugged it and smashed it to pieces.

    Did not work well

    The software was cludgy and I could not tell if the expander was working or not. When, after numerous attempts, the indicator lights showed everything was connected, there was no appreciable difference in network strength.

    This is no good and the customer service is non existent. We called many time to the mid-east and never got an answer. The on-line links did not work, got some strange site with no help! Returned as a piece of junk.

    After spending half my day trying to get it to connect, I returned it to Best Buy. I know what I'm doing, so thought setup would be a snap. Not! Not interested in wasting my time.

    JUNK

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I pulled it out of the box and followed the setup instructions. The unit wouldn't even power-up so I returned it for a refund. A real piece of junk. Don't bother.

    It does not work at all

    There is no way to make it work. If you get it connected you do not get Internet access. More frustrating: there is no solution available at Internet forums

    Power cycle it and it works for 15 minutes then out of contact with base. Inferior product. Support helpful but can't make up for weak product.

    Did not work in my 1500 sq ft home. Too much interference perhaps....had to switch to the more expensive Powerline wireless extender kit.

    Dissapointed

    Device setup instructions were confusing. Once set up, device worked great. Intermittently drops signal and constantly requires rebooting.
