This works really well. I was getting a weak signal at the back of my house, with the range extender signal is now strong.

WIFI was always iffy at the far end of the house and when we had a new security system installed the outdoor WIFI camera would not connect.
Installed the NETGEAR extender and problem solved.
I did call Netgear support to confirm a router setting, and they quickly and professionally answered my question.

A product that does what it says it will do without hassle. Followed to set-up instructions and it worked as it should. Simple. Tried it in a couple of locations and it provides a greatly extended range.
I needed to reach a couple of upstairs bedrooms. I tried a Cisco/Linksys product 1st, for similar $$, that turned out to be a total dog.

I am fairly proficient in home networking and was able to follow the instructions perfectly. It provided the necessary coverage to the "dead" spots in our home efficiently. However, it has dropped the connection to our router a couple times. I would need to unplug and plug back in to reconnect. Not sure why.

We had a wifi dead spot in one of the bedrooms, and it was affecting online schooling. Since we installed this extender, we have had no more issues. Super easy to set up.

Works as intended. Sometimes connection drops but could be a function of my modem.. Gives me the extra distance of communication that I needed.

Disappointed with Netgear WiFi Extender

I purchased the Netgear WiFi Extender with high hopes of improving my home network’s coverage, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations.
Setup was a frustrating ordeal. The instructions provided were not clear, and the process seemed overly complicated. It took longer than expected to get it up and running, and even then, the connection was inconsistent at best.
The extender’s performance left much to be desired. It failed to provide a stable and reliable signal extension, frequently dropping the connection or slowing it down significantly. This resulted in frustrating lags and interruptions during online activities.
Furthermore, the build quality seemed subpar, and the device felt flimsy. It would have been more reassuring if it had a more robust design.
Overall, my experience with the Netgear WiFi Extender was disappointing. It didn’t deliver on its promises of extending and enhancing my WiFi coverage. I would recommend looking into alternative options for improving your home network.

had a dead spot in the far bedroom upstairs. Placed this between our router and that bedroom. Connects easily and now have 5 bars in that bedroom. Allows me to set up a 2nd access point to our wireless network to give to guests so they don't have full access to our network. Great little device.

I bought this extender because I live in Florida and sit outside under my gazebo every morning about 30 foot from the house.
My signal was next to zero so my date usage became high.Solution this gizmo it works like it should but 20 times better.
Easy to set up and use if you need the extra signal strength buy it, it works
