Great extender at a great price
Bought this router for both residences to extend the range. It worked like a charm. Great not to have to set up a separate network name.

Didn’t work at all with Netgear router
Set up was impossible with RS 700… wen through multiple troubleshooting steps and contacted Netgear support … after a week of trying, they were not able to get it working. Could not recognize the SSID of the existing Netgear RS700 router. They thought it might’ve been the “smart connect“ but when that was ruled out, they said they had to for the issue to their “product...

Netgear range extended works but slow speed
It increased areas of reach of the RS700 but not as far as the Netgear X10 which didn’t need and extension or dead spots. The dual band extender is much slower for speed than the actual router. The range goes up but the speeds go way down with this plug in unit.

Nighthawk 7 extender
My router would not work 100% of the time. After installing the Nighthawk 7 I am now receiving a great signal and have constant internet up stairs.

Works but has kinks
The set up and linking to the main Netgear router takes longer than it should. I experienced trouble with management of the linked extender, whereas once length should be controlled by the main router. I also had problems with iPhone handoff from the main Wi-Fi router to the extender.

Still pretty good.
Can’t ever go wrong with Netgear. But I have an older one that worked a little better than this one. I didn’t keep product because the LAN for RJ45 didn’t work for my needs.

Wi-Fi 7 Extender setup.
Works real well, was a bit temperamental with the install process, I setup mine as a wired access point, directions were clear but it would always strick out on the very last step. Took a while longer. I assigned a new SSID/password...I ended up using the wps button, then it started working. Great coverage, and good speed. A little network knowledge helps to resolve...

Works and Simple to Install
We needed our wifi signal to extend to the one dead zone of our three bedroom apartment. This little, pleasing-to-the-eye device did the trick.
Installation took all of five minutes, maybe less.
Best yet, we are dead zone free with full wifi bars across our apartment.

Crap, especially if you're looking for a access point
Extremely unreliable and not even close to user friendly

Perfect 2GHz band device controller
Difficult setup (phone support helped setup, but it did not connect to the internet). Alternative WPS setup finally made it easy. It took several reboots and an overnight wait before system settled. Ultimately connected most 2 GHz band devices, leaving the heavy lifting for the mothership. Would buy it again.

Dead spot fixed
We needed to 'help' a dead spot in our home get a more consistent and stronger wifi signal. Decided on getting a Netgear extender that would work well with our Netgear Nighthawk router. The extender practically set itself up, it was easy to use. Thanks Netgear, another great item!

Junk
Worst extender ever, o tried everything from ip reservations on the router for the 2.4 and 5 ghz extender ip address to factory reset to great placement with no interference to everything and the extender will drop signal every day randomly, junk

Being a two level home, modem and router on lower deck it definitely helps with the upper level

Helpful for extending wifi throughout our home
Doesn't always stay linked to the main router. Several times I found it necessary to take the extender downstairs and plug it in close to the router to resync.
