It way suggested that we review/purchase this item to improve our internet speed for the new TV. Our router is on the 2nd floor and TV on the lst. It has improved the quality.

Extended an older netgear router. Did not work by pressing wps buttons on each device but did work easily by connecting with laptop and identifying extender and router. Extender pushed signal well beyond the rest of the house and outside where it wasn't before. Extremely happy with results.

I believe this was the least expensive extender my best buy had and it works great! Our house is about 1600 sqft and our main modem/router is in the game room (front of the house) so we needed an extender if we wanted wifi in bedroom (back of the house). This extender works very well .

Main cable source/modem in basement. Wifi was weak, dropping signal on 3rd level. Extender installed on 3rd level after pairing up with modem. Excellent wifi with 5 bars on 3rd level for a month now. Great purchase choice & inexpensive. Amplified wifi exceded expectations...

We were having a problem with WiFi reception near the kitchen and living room area as the WiFi modem was in the bedroom. This WiFi extender solves the issue.

We recently moved to a new home where I did get a higher internet speed but for some reason signal did not get to the rooms. We got the extender and help with the problem.

The set up was not difficult just follow the instructions and you'll be fine. The extender covers a good range, for us its useful since our signal was dropping in the back yard, we plugged it closer to the back and it works fine.

When we added onto our house, we realized that our bedroom was really far from our office where our wifi router was located. This WIFI extender was a perfect and inexpensive way to establish service in the back area of our house. Very easy to set up, especially for a "non-techie" like me...

It works and does the trick. But it's kinda slow. Get the more pricier one . Also try it to have many things connected to it

We previously had a “dead zone” for WiFi in our house, but after installing the extender, we haven’t had any problems getting WiFi anywhere in the house now. It’s nice not having to use cellular data inside a house where you’re already paying for internet.

Purchased this because it was low priced. Not knowing what to expect, the Netgear extender works great. I'm getting all my Meg speed now. No buffering .
