Setup was fairly easy but this unit didn't perform well in our house. Our house isn't too big, so not sure why, but kept losing signal even though lights were green. Even when it showed I had a signal, the internet was very slow. When I returned it the person at Best Buy said it wasn't the best choice to work with my particular router. Since it's advertised as Universal I thought it wold be okay.

The range extender was easy to install and has boosted wifi in an area of my home that is too far from the router.

Works GREAT. I live in a 2-story townhouse, my main router is downstairs in the living room, so I placed this extender at the TOP of my stairs in the hallway. I have 2 different wifi speed tests on my electronics (Ipad and Android phone) to make sure I was getting the best location.
Cant remember which review site it was from, but someone recommended to "rename" the extender's name by adding an ".EXT" to differentiate the two signals and someone said it was unecessary. I tried it BOTH ways and tested both the Ipad and Android phone speed tests and for MY situation, adding the ".EXT" worked better (~25% difference).
VERY easy to setup and use.
My Ipad AUTOMATICALLY chooses the ".EXT" signal when I am upstairs and chooses the non-EXT signal when I am downstairs. However, I have to adjust the Wifi with my Android, which for ME, was NOT a deal-breaker.

Honestly if you are looking for a range booster this one works as advertised and is not too expensive. It pares easily with my router which is also a Netgear model router. Note: not sure how well it pares wit hother brands.

This product solved the problem I had streaming in my home theater which is pretty far from my wireless router. Good stuff. Worked very well and was easy to set up. No hoohoo, as Heinlein would say.

Our router is in one of the bedrooms upstairs and the living room that was downstairs would always have bad wifi signal, so having this extender downstairs makes our lives so much easier! Highly recommend this product.

I placed this router extender in the living room and it brought a strong signal to the living room from the router in the bedroom. Additionally, it caused the signal in the back yard to be much stronger. I'm very impressed.
