A relative was having connection issues in their basement where their laptop was located on the opposite side of where their router was one floor above. I purchased this item hoping to improve their connection and it has definitely helped. While it does not increase speed, it provides a stable connection (almost full bars) whereas previously they would drop connection every few minutes. For setup I temporarily connected my laptop through an ethernet cable and completed the web interface setup after plugging in the extender. You have the option of keeping the same password as the existing wifi connection that is being extended which simplifies things.
Happy with the extender and would likely purchase again.

Netgear understands that for technology to be adopted, it needs to be easy to understand and deploy. This is so much easier to install than all other solutions I investigated/tried. And it simply works!

Fairly easy set up. Unable to set up using wi-fi, so I needed a network cable. Luckily I have those laying around. After that, set up was easy through a web portal. Works great!

Needed a little signal boost for the Chromecast in the garage. I had a good signal at best. Now, I have a VERY STRONG signal. Makes streaming so much easier. Easy to set up too. Well worth the money.
