My basement has terrible reception and doesn’t pick up the wifi well from my modem that sits on my main floor- this gave me full bars on my laptop in my basement. The set up was very easy too

Great for it's intended purpose. I have one installed, I asked the rep. If two or more could me linked together to further extend the WiFi signal to a greater range.
Was told , yep, this could do it.
Unfortunatly , a second unit will not capture the signal from the first extender and re-broadcast it to enable it to increase the range from the WiFi unit attached to the cable modem. Customer Setvice ( Netgear) tried but thinks the Netgear WiFi unit at the cable modem is not the correct type to enable the string of 2 or more Netgear extenders in the way I had asked. My cable company provides the WiFi unit but can't assist me with a method of extending the range.

Bought it for PS3 assistance to go wireless, but it won't sync up. Have to try again. It shows up on the menu and signal is strong. ,Must be doing something wrong.

I wanted something to extend my internet connection. Since my router is in my living room, the signal isn't so good in my room. Plugged this in and setup took about 5 minutes. Now I have a strong signal in my room.

Was concerned that I would have difficulty with the instructions for installation. However, it was very simple. Easier than setting up a new phone!
I have already recommended it to family and friends who were also having the same problem.

I followed the directions in the included manual, and it increased my wifi strength enough to reach an isolated laptop within a metal walled trailer. It worked well for my purposes! And the cost was very reasonable.

This was the best Father's Day present, ever! I can lay in bed and read upstairs or use it anywhere on the main floor or in the basement. The iPad is now really fast and stays connected. This is a super device to extend the area of wi fi.
