However, some experienced connection instability, and compatibility issues were also reported by a few users. The Ethernet port was a welcome feature for some.

But didn't like it... It's a good enough idea, to hit the dead zones in your home by using one of these things, but face it, they don't make that big of a difference. Sometimes it's faster than your router, sometimes it's not. Take the money you would spend on this and put it to a new router, at least, that's what I did.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not as easy to connect as I expected, but once installed it has been working perfectly and does exactly what we needed it to do. We had such trouble getting an adequate signal to our Sony smart TV so we could stream movies - this unit solved the problem.

Bought this without really knowing if it would work and it does. Sends the Wi-Fi signal throughout my entire apartment. I highly recommend to anyone who needs to improve the Wi-Fi signal in his or her home (but doesn't want to spend a fortune doing so).

This is an cost effective Wi Fi extender. Great reception. The only drawback is that one has to pair into it using Wi Fi in settings. Then pair back into the main Wi Fi system when leaving the area of the extended range.

Easy to install. Perhaps I don't have a great plug location to get my signal extended to the back corner of my small property

It works okay at best. I bought this becuase i was having trouble streaming Hulu in my bedroom. The rest of my home the internet is fine except for this one room. The T.V. connects to the extender just fine but it still take quite a bit of time to load up a show. At least it connects though and once it starts I don't have any problems with the show freezing like i did before.

It works like mesh router systems to extend the WiFi signal coverage. NETGEAR is a trusted brand in the networking world. There is no doubt about their reputations.

It's a really good idea to spread the WiFi signal in the house especially if it is protected.
This is a great product

Has tons of features and has consistent speed. My routers in the basement of my ranch style home and would always drop devices upstairs. After installing directly above it, the whole house is great now.

Pretty good range extender for the price. It occasionally loses the signal, but that's an easy fix. Just turn off and back on in 30 secs.
