Coverage from ATT wireless router is spotty on opposite side of our house. The Netgear WiFi extender now gives us great coverage throughout the house. Easy setup. I highly recommend this extender.

Bought this to get better wireless signal in my room. Definitely does the job. I am able to stream videos without buffering like I had been dealing with.
Setup was simple. Took maybe 5-10 minutes to finish.

I didn't research this item online, because I purchased one at Best Buy previously and was thoroughly educated by one of the sales people. When I needed another one for home use, I bought the same Netgear item, which happened to be on sale and was just what I needed!

It does work. A bit of a hassle to setup, like they all are I suppose. Biggest gripe is the speed... which ends up about 10% of my other wireless router, and 5% of the wired connection. Slow coverage for iMessages from the backyard or garage is all it’s used for and it does that fine. Any real load on this, and you’ll be let down for sure.

Needed a device to boost my wifi signal. Found this at best buy for $ 70.00. Setup was easy, had it working in less than 15 mins.

The items works as advertised but is a little spotty and loses the signal
ever once in a while. But this may be may internet connection. Works most of the time and much better connection than I had before.

Did not even realize these things existed until it was recommended that I obtain one to extend the range of a house feature that I have. Not only has it resolved the issue I was having but now there are no dead zones in my home. Definitely recommend. Set up was a snap.

This is my second WiFi extender (both are this one) and I wouldn’t have purchased another if the first one was bad. I use this one in the garage dedicated for my security camera system, and it’s worked flawless. They are extremely easy to setup, takes all of maybe 2 minutes. I have never, never ever, had to reset one or reconnect one to the main router. Don’t be fooled by the really expensive ones. These work perfectly fine. I’ve purchased the expensive routers and extenders before, which literally have all failed. So I got sick of buying the $200 routers or extenders, tried this one out, wouldn’t ever go a different one, that’s how reliable they are.

Bought this for our home because I was having problems accessing my wifi in different parts of our home (specifically the farther ends). I had already tried moving the router and we already have the strongest/fastest service available but still had problems. This item was easy to setup and did exactly what I needed it to. Whenever we have family come over and they automatically connect, they even commented that the wifi had been noticeably improved.
Quick note, the item creates a secondary wifi network in addition to the one you have so in case you are in a room closer to the router you can use the original network to avoid overcrowding the new network.
Oh and I love that best buy priced match this to Amazon!

This product is very easy to set up! You can also place it very far from your initial router. This product covers my complete upstairs when placed in the loft. The upstairs of my house is around 1,000 SQFT.

Works in two story house

It works great for my purpose - 2 story house with reinforced walls and high ceiling. I use it in the master bedroom directly above the modem downstair centrally located on the bottom floor.
The inconvenient thing is that I have to manually switch my device when I move between the 2 floors, i.e. I have to switch to the "network" connected to the extension when I am upstairs and switch back to my normal network when I go downstairs.
Wish it would switch itself when the device gets the better signal...

Once I followed the instructions, it was a very easy setup. In spite of it being a booster, it actually provides better connectivity then my main wireless!
