Took about 3 days to ship. Received undamaged, you MUST READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND BE PATIENT to let this thing turn on for the first time. It works, extended the wifi coverage in my home moderately. You will not be able to use your dual band, if your wifi isn't dual band already. I've paired this with a Netgear R6220 router which is a couple years old now, but it's not obsolete. So they mate really well, have not had any disconnections between the two yet. I've had internet latency issues but that's internet, not wifi. I run on Cox Premier internet plan @ 150mbps. On 2.4g using the extender as the wifi source, I'm speed testing around 50ish Mbps download and 12ish Mbps upload. On 5ghz, I'm testing around 130ish Mbps and uploading still 12-13ish Mbps. I had this extender connect to my wifi on 2.4 since the range is wider, my wifi is way far into one of the rooms in the hallway of my house. But I connect my devices, especially my laptop on 5ghz. I just think it's a more convenient way of setting up so I know my extender is getting more than 65% signal from my router. And believe at 65% signal strength the light is solid green, not amber, not red, it's GREEN. So far so good, I game on my Asus laptop(GL752vw) playing SWTOR on the 5ghz frequency from the extender, latency is 24ms. So where I game in my living room, the router itself is about 25ft from me, wall corners and a door interfere with signal, that's a given. Now the extender is on one of my wall sockets in the dining room. The laptop is about 14inches above it on the dining table. Games smooth... hoping this device will last me until I end up replacing and future proofing my current wifi router. Maybe go tri-band in a couple years. Well done Netgear.Read full review

This range extender was easy to set up, however, the range extender did an awful job of providing a fast extended connection. I also noticed it decreased the speed of my overall main router's connection. I ended up removing it from my setup. I may try it again later, but for now, it's a paper weight.

Looking for a wi-fi extender to improve reception in my basement. I got this one since my research on the internet indicated that this would work well with my existing Net-gear Router. It was easy to set up using the browser on my PC. It provides a strong signal throughout the basement, and after two weeks is working great.

Take a look at the picture on the box. The coverage of this range extender just pushes the signal a little farther across the room and maybe into the next room. Please do not expect it to do more. Probably great just for covering the odd WiFi black spot in your home - don’t expect miracles.

Setup was easy with a touch of the wps button on my router. Does the job of extending my wifi to my basement. Although not as strong but enough for me to get stuff done.
