    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.

    I purchased this access point as a need to split a network into two; that is, one for my main network and another for IoT devices. I had a need for WiFi access to my main network from anywhere within a 2,000 square-foot radius. This access point didn't disappoint. It has blazing speeds and set up was easy. Five stars, absolutely.

    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!

    This WiFi expander was recommended by Alejandro, a salesperson at my local BestBuy; to have me avoid running an ethernet cable across the floor from my router to my NVR system setup in a different room. WOW! It worked! BestBuy is my cherished place to buy ever-evolving technology; the people who work there make the difference!

    So far so good! Very easy to set up with the APP. Pairing with my new Nighthawk modem/router was painless. We now can stream movies and work on the computer in the back of the house! All at the same time. Highly recommended!

    Had been looking for a wifi extender for a while. I'm glad I took my time! Placed in the room with our main tv. Wifi had been pretty good but thought it could be better. Set up was a breeze and now our streaming service runs flawlessly. Thank you Netgear!
