Drops signal all the time and slowed down my internet conection. Ended up just unpluging it and uped my data on phone and tab. Decided not to be cheap and just buy more phone data.

As long as you aren't expecting anything dramatic this works fine. Setup was easy but the extender took several minutes to reconnect once moved to the permanent location.

Overall I am very satisfied with this product. It was easy to install. You just need to press the button on the device and then go to your router and press the WPS button and the two will pair.

I had issues using devices outside, on the patio and deck. This unit, placed in an outlet on the outside wall definitely fixed the problem. It was easy to set up to extend my existing wifi network and has performed very well.

I actually bought this for a friend who was having trouble getting his wifi at one end of his house because his router was at the opposite end of the house. I was able to set this up in the middle of his house and now he's got great wifi signal thru his whole house.

Plugged it into the wall socket then plugged the cat5 cable into the unit. You then had to do a short setup in the mobile device and wallah! We went from having one bar to 4.

Low Cost Extension for WIFI

The Netgear extension WIFI is a simple and cost effective way to extend an existing WIFI. It plugs into an outlet and the setup is easy. This one was a 2nd unit used to balance the WIFI in a large house space. Works well with HD TV connections for NETFLIX where TV's are spread throughout the house.

Allows my phone to receive a stronger signal in parts of my house that are on a different floor from my modem and router. It costs less than upgrading my existing hardware.

It helped us to extend our internet coverage to other rooms. A must have, if you have range extension issues.

I purchased this because my Roku tv in the master bedroom was hardly getting a wifi signal. The router is located downstairs on the other side of the house, I plugged this in snooty halfway between upstairs, setup was a breeze, full signal strength.

I wanted wifi in another room where my security camera box is set up. All I needed was the extender, instead of upgrading my wifi and paying more money every month.

Living in an apartment with shared wifi and my unit is furthest from the router. Got this great extender and almost doubled my download speed. It was also super easy to set up. Less than five minutes with easy to follow instructions and I was Netflix and chillin again. Highly recommended!

have a detached cottage in the back yard and the signal was weak. This boosted the signal so that its as strong as it is in the house and we are able to stream videos without interruption. The only down side was I had to get someone to link it up to my router, as I am not that tech savvy.

This is a really great product. It extends your range and keeps the signals from fading or dropping. Love it!

I like it. It's small and just plugs into a wall outlet wherever you need coverage. If I want to use my iPad out in the back hard, I just plug this puppy in to an outlet by the back door and I can go anywhere in my back yard and even several of the neighbors and have coverage.
It was easy to set up and very convenient.

Needed to extend my home network for video doorbell. Easy to set up, fairly inconspicuous, decent range. Why spend more when this does the job

The WiFi Extender required utilization of technical assistant for installation & activation of device. Then, further assistance was required to "re-activate" device when it just unexpectedly stopped working.

With the exception of it going out a few times, it works really well. I've had to relocate it a few times to find the best location. But it has worked well in at least 3 different spots
