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.

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.

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.

I was having problems getting a good wifi signal at the far end of my house. The first wifi extender I bought did nothing. Decided to give this one a chance. I am no longer having problems with the wifi cutting out.

The Net Gear Extender was working great until Hurricane Irma hit Fl and moved to Georgia. Since then, it is on and off and I don't know why. So, for a month or so, I was very happy with it. Not so much at the moment until I can determine what the problem is. A call to my provider was not very helpful. I can't recommend it until I know what the issues are that are frustrating me.

After looking through many reviews, I decided to give it a try. I thought, "I could always return it". I got it home, read and followed the directions and... It worked. Just like it described. I'm a happy camper.
