I’m not sure I see a material difference in my signal but I do find it easier to access to the WiFi on our second floor with this device

The range extender does what it's supposed to, and it's affordably priced. It does slow down network speeds though

It works well I just wish it gave out a stronger signal. I like the product and it does help give my network a boost.

I bought this product to help increase the range of connectivity around the house, and it met my expectations. It is no longer hard to be connected in places like the 3rd floor.

Wifi was sporadic in one of our back rooms and slow in the other. This was the first choice taking into consideration price and size of our house.
It took less than 3 minutes to have the extender working great!
Wifi in the back of the house is now as fast as the main part!

Bought this range extender to enable reliable WIFI in my basement. Regular WIFI signal was weak and dropped connection. Much better now.

So far I believe it’s working great. Have one in my attic and living room. It has a pretty good range.

It is a handy little router extender that was simple to set up and has a decent range. The range isn’t amazing but hey, it’s a good price

My computer, at the far end of the house from the router, had a difficult time staying connected to the network. I spent about 25% of my time trying to reconnect . With the Netgear Range Extender I have a stable, dependable access to the internet. Very satisfying.

Father-in-law needed to get his wifi signal to the basement with the router being on the second floor. Bought this and setup was easy. Push the wps button on the FIOS router and let the two devices talk to each other. Now he has a strong signal in the basement.

Instructions indicate one of the lights should be on, but it is only on intermittently. Can't find any instruction on this and was going to call the manufacturer.

My router is in the basement at the far end of the house from the first floor living room. Before installing this amplifier, wifi in the living room was spotty. Now, no problem. Best Buy staff give my good advice in suggesting this unit.

Wish it had more power for the old "extension". I tried several places in the house, but none of them would work until I was right next door to the source. Good for the price

Good range, but I've had to reset it several times. Wi-Fi gadgets will not automatically switch between primary and extender.

The product works well,overall. I did find the instructions to be a little confusing. However, once it was connected and running it meets our expectations.
