Modem is downstairs and computers for school and work are upstairs. This was exactly what I needed to use an Ethernet cord upstairs. I bought 2 I just need one more!

This device only works intermittently in my home. It is in the same location as my previous Netgear extender which stopped working after about 3 years. That device worked great until then.

We had a dead spot upstairs so I did some research and found this unit to fit the bill. So far its working as expected. Initially it set itself up as a separate network which was not what i wanted. If you were upstairs you'd still have a weak signal from the main router so it would not switch to the new network. Reading up on it it was recommended to change the network name on the device to be the same as the router so that your device would seamlessly switch. That seems to be working fine once i made the change.

As a wireless to wired port, this device works great! As far as being an extender, I have not noticed any change. My wireless devices still seem slow even standing next to the extender.

I live in the country, so I have to have satellite internet service. It was very slow getting through the walls, but the NETGEAR made it so much better!! Should have gotten it alot sooner!!

I like that I can easily change the volume and settings from my mobile app any time and any where. I can set times for silence, and can control the volume and tones. It works very good and I would recommend.

Bought this item for my kids room. It's working really well especially because of the distance from the wifi. Very easy to setup.

Living in the country can be wonderful at times but not being able to get stronger wireless signals and range is major drawback. Plus, with 2 sets of identical twins in high school and my husbands small business, we have a household with many devices all vying for that weaker signal at the same times, we had a problem. Since I’m a regular customer with Best Buy, the sales staff were familiar with our needs, and recommended a Netgear range extender. This product has been a life saver

Gets me full bars in my back bedroom when I previously only got half as strong a signal. Setup was tricky even when pairing it with a netgear router.

Dead simple to setup and configure. While I'd rather pull wire, I don't have the time or inclination for temporary connectivity. Keep one of these in your kit.

For the price, I am very happy with this extender. I have set up two of these and have been impresssed by how easy they were. This one bridges two parts of a house so that devices can connect to either end without having to run cables.

Fairly easy to auto connect to one wireless router but didn't recognize the other. Boosted problem area from 1 to 2 bars reception to 4.
