After installation of a Neatgear wireless router in a very large home it was necessary to install an extender. The installation was effortless. This extender also provides a visual display of what is happening and you do not have to bend over and strain to figure out what it is doing.

My house is fairly large and the wifi signal from my wireless router would not reach the bedrooms at the opposite end of the house. The Netgear range extender was easy to install and provides a full strength signal at the furthest point in the house.

I cannot believe we have gone through so many routers and had multiple technicians in our home trying to get the wifi to work when all i had to do was purchase this little gem and plug it in. It took about one minute! Now my wifi works perfectly from one end of the house to the other.

I live in a 3 story town home, and the wireless never fully reached the 3rd floor. This extender boosted the signal so I get full bars no matter where I am in the house. It allows enough data through to stream shows via Netflix without a single buffering.

I was having trouble with my wi-fi router reaching out to my back porch. Not only does this extender reach my back porch, but out into the backyard as well. Great product & set-up was really easy!

Make sure you read the packaging. The Wi-Fi Range Extender has decreased download speeds. I got it working but due to the reduced download speeds, it not much use to me as I can still reach the Wi-Fi.

Was having trouble getting a good signal to one of the rooms in my house and it was less expensive to buy this product then to replace the router. Solved the problem, works well and as advertised, easy to configure

Bought it. Read the directions and followed them. A couple of minutes later it worked like it's supposed to. Forgot about it until Best Buy asked me to review it. Think about that: I forgot about it because it's doing what it should without any problems.

I used this because my wifi doesn't quite reach to my bedroom. It fixed the streaming issue but when I stream a game it still times out or is slow. That's the only reason it didn't get 5 stars.

I have Spectrym internet service that uses a router placed in my livingroom. The wifi signal is very weak in the bedrooms in my apartment. I was hoping that this range extender would solve the problem. The range extender gives me a little bit better connection to the wifi but not very strong. Its still very slow and was not a solution for me. I use an iPad to connect to wifi so the issue is not with my device.

A good value for the performance. Personally, I would have been happier with a more expensive range extender that gives better coverage. These units are inexpensive and easy to set up. My house has two levels and 2200 square feet. I had to buy two units to get adequate coverage. The problem with this is that when moving from one end of the house to the other, I have to change the settings to pick up the closest unit. Not handy for mobile devices.
