A $50 new extender in my detached garage gave out after a power failure. I replaced it with an identical item that barely worked. I have no idea why it would work for an hour, then give out, then start working again, etc. I moved it all over the garage attic. If it was close to the Roku in the garage it wouldn't connect to the internet. If It was close enough to attach to the internet, the Roku wouldn't keep a connection. And when I hit a place where the extender would attach both to the internet and the Roku, it would be very intermittent. Again, the first one had worked just fine in the same situation. I don't know if there's increased interference in our rural neighborhood or what. At any rate, I thought I'd try an upgrade. I found this one with return privileges at a good price. I had the same issues with placement as the cheaper unit, but I was able, eventually to find a place in the attic where the internet signal could get all the way to my Roku. I also have an old PC out there with a 5G wireless dongle. Though the PC seems to think it has a stronger signal from the 2G connection, once I got things where it would regularly connect to the 5G (4 bars) it downloaded things much faster. In other words, it's not a perfect solution, but it got me back to where I was two years ago with a much cheaper unit. So it's a win for me.Read full review

I really don't know if it is good or bad because it didn't work when I got it. The extender was sold as refurbished. When i called Netgear for help, they said it was a 2016 model that was not up to date. They couldn't get it connected to my router.

Installed in 10 minutes, Looks great in the Home or Office. All I wanted was too get my Wifi to extend to my upstairs and back of home but got much more. Walked across the street to talk to my friend and found my Iphone was still connected to the new Netgear Extender. My older friend that lives across the street was given my password and now he also is connected to my Wifi extender. WOW! What a Great product! What a Great price! Nothing bad to say. Never Happier!

I got this item at a really good bargain. I paired this with my non 5G modem and was able to double my wifi speeds in bad areas. On the 5G network of course. Yes, it gave me 5G on the other side of my house. This sucks because most of my devices are 2.4G. This repeater has the capability to be an access point by connecting data to any of the ports. I plan on doing that eventually because there is too much interference between the repeater and modem. But for now, I am definitely satisfied with the product. The only downside was that the 2.4G frequency gave me poor results. It probably has something to do with the interference issue. 2.4G should have more channel options than 11. So, with poor 2.4G coming in, don't expect great results coming out. As a repeater the 2 4G has to be on the same channel as your modem. That is why I plan on using it as an access point. But because my modem isn't 5G, I'm able to manipulate the 5G channels. Setup was easy. All you have to do is connect to it, go to mywifiext.com, configure, and enjoy.Read full review
