I purchased the N600 dual band router a couple of months ago to alleviate our horrible speed slow downs during evening hours. Our neighborhood is literally saturated with 2.4 gHz users. This router does a great job for us on 5 gHz. BUT...the signal was not reaching all parts of the house so...back to the Staples store where I purchased this dual band range extender to solve the problem. Just picked it up this afternoon. Set up was almost unbelievably simple. No software CD's to fool with. Just plug it in, turn it on and push two buttons...twice each...to get it operating on both bands. Now we're enjoying full download speed we're paying for in all parts of the house and out on our patio. Works great with two wireless laptops and my wife's iPad. Worth every penny.

All in all does what it should

Not difficult to setup, but not as easy as it should be, especially when using the same brand modem.
I don't like that you have to set it up as an extension, I'd rather it just amplify the original connection. That would make it easier to log on with the iPad or similar device. When we walk to the other side of the house you lose one connection and have to take the time to connect to the other.

              I found the product easy to install and it seems to be working well to deal with the problem I was having with intermittant wireless usage. I now have my wireless printer working with all devices. Have not tried it with the smart TV.

              Simple to install

              Comments about Netgear Universal Dual Band WiFi Range Extender, 4-port WiFi Adapter:

              This extender is simple to install with a gateway or router that has the WPS button. The range is not extensive but works well enough for our situation. It often only indicates an amber light which means that it is not providing a full connection, but this doesn't disrupt our connection. It reaches about 50 feet heading diagonally from the basement up to the first floor. I have trouble getting the foot assembly to hold the extender in a vertical postition. The feet are small and made from a weak plastic. They feel like they're about to break.

                  Comments about Netgear Universal Dual Band WiFi Range Extender, 4-port WiFi Adapter:

                  This wifi range extender does basically what it is suppsed to do. However, setup via one button didn't work and had to set it up manually. Took much longer than expected. Can't get the 5mhz to connect at all. And I am using a new netgear wifi router that should be fully compatible with this range extender. Pressed WPS button a hundred times but didin't work so I gave up. We have four smartphones, 3 laptops and one ipad all connected wirelessly all the time. Also have one desktop connected by wire directly to router. For the most part speeds through extender are decent but definitely not as fast as router wired or wireless speed. Also devices don't seem to transfer smoothly from one wifi hotspot to the other as I move around the house. But I think that is more due to the settings on my droid and laptop. Will keep playing with it to see if I can maximize its capability.
