It extends the wifi sure, set up was pretty simple, but I just never bother with it. Setting it back up is a pain. Decent for the price.

Once I was able to set up the device, it ran well even through a power outage (after the power recovered).

For the price, it gets the job done. May need to place it where walls are not thick. It's universal so it works with any wifi router, but make sure it's dual band. On that note: if on a budget to extend wifi, grab it.

Plugged it in. Turned on computer. Voilà connection! Instructions clear and simple. All previously dicey connections now really good. A simple, cheap solution for a major headache.

The distance and strength of this range extender is weaker than I had hoped for. Our home is only a 2800 square foot single level. We are using a new strong Netgear Router (AC1750 R6400 Dual Band), with a new Netgear Cable Modem (CM500) and a new Netgear PowerLine Wi-Fi 1000 Point w/Adapter (PLW1000 Dual Band).I added this Netgear Wi-Fi Range Extender (WN3000RP) to further extend the distance of our 2.4GHZ signal into our two dead spot bedrooms. The signal is sporadically reaching the two bedrooms but it is so weak and inconsistent that our wireless devices are continually losing its wi-fi connections. Don't waste your money, on this, if you need a significant range extension. I will be returning this item. I had really hoped to save some money with my purchase and use of this WN3000RP ($35 vs. $67) but it appears that I now have to bite the bullet and purchase an additional PLW1000 Dual Band Range Extender. The Netgear PowerLine Wi-Fi 1000 Point w/Adapter (PLW1000 Dual Band Range Extender) is almost twice the price but has proven to be a worthwhile investment because it has done a good job of resolving some of the other dead spots in and around our house.

This wifi extender works way better than I thought it would. Plus you have the option to turn it into an access point.which I think works wonderfully. Definitely recommend.

I didn't know that an extender was an available option until we visited the store to get a new modem. This has come in handy to strengthen the signal in our house. Totally recommend!

I can't say for sure that it has boosted our performance but there's been no lags or drops.
