    Very Unreliable Extension

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Whether you are using the ethernet or wireless function the extension at times will output 2% if the Wi-Fi speed you actually have. My Wi-Fi speed at home is 300mbps. However when connected to the extension I will get 1-10 mbps. There are some times in the day that the extension will function as indented, at full speed. however those times will happen minority of the time using the extension. The 3 attached pictures show 3 separate test done within an hour. The connection is EXTREMELY INCONSISTANT.

    Loved the mesh integration. It’s small and easy to setup which is great. However, it has consistently had connections issues with my router every few hours, leaving me with no wifi connection for a up to 5 minutes. This did not happen without the extender. Unfortunately will be returning

    Setup is typical of Netgear products - fairly user friendly with the occasional "whoops" requiring me to start over. This was largely due to me NOT wanting to have the extender use the same SSID as my main WIFI. Setup took maybe 30 minutes NOT using the app. What's good: Speed when connected Broadcast Range What's not so good: Its huge, and even when plugged in to the top of a standard wall outlet, it's difficult to plug something in below it. At times it seems to lose connection with my router. Full disclosure, my router (also a netgear) had been acting up aftera recent firmware update, may have been responsible for the connection loss. If a knew for sure that the connection loss was unrelated to this extender, I would have upped the review to 4 stars.

    It took a little bit to get it installed. It first worked then had a little problem connecting. After a couple of days had to connect it again. It works pretty good.

    Great Extension Device

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We added this device upstairs because we put our modem and wireless router downstairs at the other end of our house and we have 10+ devices that run at any given time. It was a good addition and I haven't had issues although my wife's iPad loses connection sometimes, not sure what is up with that since the extender is in the next room. Could be user interface error.

    Randomly died after a year of use. My play station stop connecting to the wifi and when I turn the extender off connects to main router no issue. Poor connection but works. Now every device in the house has issues connecting to extender. I have factory reset a number of times also updated firmware.

    I bought 2 of these to extend my wifi coverage in my house. They were terrible. Very confusing to use and the separate app you have to download was faulty. They constantly lost connectivity rendering them completely useless. After a month or two constantly having to reset them, I just gave up and called my ISP (ATT) they provided me with FREE wifi extenders and those work perfectly. I just hate that I can't return them for a full refund!

    The first unit connected easily, but adding a second unit to the other side of the house has been a nightmare. After doing a complete reboot multiple times, it is still not working on both units. I have COX wifi and plan to just add a couple of their extenders.
