    Eliminated My Dead Spot

    I had a dead spot in front of and inside my garage due to the electrical panel. My Ring flood lights over my garage had poor signal and my MyQ for the garage door would consistently loose signal. I installed the NETGEAR extender in the garage and it eliminated the dead spot. My Ring flood light now have strong signal and there has been zero signal drops from my MyQ devices. It also gave me additional cover outside while increasing the signal downstairs. (Main router located upstairs) I am truly satisfied with the performance and it was simple to program.

    My router/cable modem - Nighthawk CAX80 provides strong signal, but second floor is having dead sports. This Extender solved this issue. Installation was a breeze and option to connect wired devices is a big plus!

All you need to do is sign into your account of purchase then paste the review and submit (To paste: Ctrl + V on PC, Cmd + V on MAC, tap and hold on mobile). Our home is in a rural area with poor cellular reception and no internet service other than satellite that is very poor at best. We installed a cellular booster that did give us reliable and much faster cellphone service. 4 bars;of 5g inside, still dead areas outside. We bought a Netgear MR 1100 Nighthawk that is fantastic but I wanted stronger coverage inside our 1700 ft house and outside as well. I bought the Netgear wifi 6 Mesh Extender and it is AWESOME! It not only extended our coverage in the home but also distances from 80-90 ft outside! We have a dedicated data only line from T-Mobile 100GB that is very affordable. I've read that range extenders do not boost signal strength. This may be but my average download speed has went from a highly variable 18 mb/s to a steady 46 mb/s. Maybe not game playing speeds but fast enough to stream movies, zoom meetings for my work at home wife and great voice communication. The Netgear products Just Work! Oh, btw I'm not tech savy so had to call for assistance to set up both my Netgear devices. They were very patient and walked me through every step. Great products and excellent service!

    This range extender expanded the range of my WiFi network from my home to a detached garage at the back of my property, a distance of approximately 100 ft. Signal strength is good with the extender - it was non-existent without it. I would highly recommend this reasonably priced range extender.

    Works Great. Tried my WiFi providers extender that was said to be compatible with their router wirelessly. Later told it had to be hard wired to the router to work upstairs. I purchased the Netgear extender for half the price of the providers, and it works great and was very easy to set up. Great signal strength upstairs and NO wires neede.

    I needed better signal strength for my Ring cameras and this range extender made it happen. I tried smaller, wall plug-in ones, and they didn't do the job and greatly reduced the speeds. This one extended the range and kept speeds at what they're supposed to be.

    I am a Best Buy employee, so I know a lot about what is on the market when it comes to things like this, and let me tell you, these things do work. It allowed me to make my connection faster and with a stronger connection! My pc is upstairs and the router is downstairs, and with the extender, I get speeds that are nearly as fast as if I was hard-wired into the router itself. I’d say thats a solid improvement. I had trouble getting the app to work at first, but nothing that was too frustrating. Wifi 6 is great and definitely worth the upgrade if you also have a wifi 6 router. The speeds are much faster than wifi 5, assuming your internet provider and plan support the increased bandwidth.

    Works great as an access point

    It was quick and easy to set up using the Netgear browser interface and it works great. I set it up as a wired access point rather than wireless extender using my existing router. The one wifi name is fantastic, especially compared to the four names I used to have with my old extender on the two router bands. Now I have great signal everywhere I need it. The bright white lights are a bit odd compared with the little green ones most network devices have, but you can turn them off except for the power light which is about like a regular night light in my hall. The only thing that could be improved is the manual, which in places is a bit unclear and incomplete.

    Very impressed with this product! I live in a basement far from the main Xfinity router and had poor reception on most devices. I did a fair amount of research and decided to go with this mesh extender. So glad I did! It seamlessly combines with the Xfinity router. Name and password are identical. After setup I noticed other devices automatically connecting to the extender, I'm guessing because of the stronger signal. I realize the price is about double that of those wall plug-in extenders, however it's performance is super excellent in my opinion and totally worth it.

    It works right at the distance I need it from the main router. Easy to set up with a phone app or a web based wizard. It seems to improve the signal over time. Auto-updates the firmware. I just had to call technical support one time for help with set up, but it may not be necessary for more experienced users.

    We have a ranch style home the cable router on one end and TV on other end. Because we have a concrete wall with the TV on the other side we needed better signal and we found that it works best between the router and wall. It doesn't give the right connection when placed next to TV box or router. But now we are happy with the results.

    Router has been great! Reaches all the way back to the front of my garage. That’s a good 45-50ft from where the router is in the back bedroom. Only dropped out a once in over a month so I think it’s definitely a great buy!

    I purchased this to improve the signal in a large home with little to no cell service. Except for timing out and having to reset, it is effective and works. We have had 18 devices connected to it at once and worked perfectly. Highly recommended for the price.

    I needed this WiFi mesh range extender to go to an external building about 75-100 feet from my base unit. Not only did it work, but when I plugged it in, I must have picked up 20 different WiFi units, where before this, I only got 2. Another good reason to password protect your WiFi system. This is definitely a powerful WiFi extender, and I highly recommend it!
