I have several dead spots in my house. I had an extender upstairs, and my router in the basement (man cave). But, I still couldn't get a strong signal in the far end.
This extender lit up my house with 5G. I run several pieces of exercise equipment that use video for maps or trainer led workouts. It runs them very well and as allowed me to move some other devices over to the 5G network without consequence.
It is the best extender I've purchased.

I ended up purchasing this as an extender based on the fact that it can be a stand-alone router as well. It's quick, keeps my network secure, and was reasonably priced. Setup was quick and it's compact design makes it more attractive.

The Nighthawk AC-2200 works as advertised. Easy setup and provides great coverage with minimal drop in up/down speed.

Setup on this is pretty straight forward. You set it up right next to your router and once it gets a good signal you can move it elsewhere. I set this extender up in my living room and it helped me get Wi-Fi coverage across the house. I have it set up about 40' away and down one story. The extender gets the job done and looks good doing it. The black design blends in with the rest of my entertainment system and doesn't attract too much attention.

After 1 year of using the netgear 1900, it started dropping the signal, unable to connect to my network, I had to do factory resets couple times, but it didn't work, so I went to the store and luckily I purchased the extended warranty, so I picked this one instead. I have been using it so far couple months and it works great, fast connection and great coverage, easy to set up.

This thing was exactly what I hoped it was, right out of the box I followed the detailed instructions and 15 minutes later I had WiFi in a place that I didn't have it earlier that day! Plus the signal strength is as good if you were sitting next to your actual router. I use it for a smart TV and we stream movies with ease and it never lags. GREAT PRODUCT!

I bought this because my nighthawk router which I thought I had a warranty for was not working well in my living room. This extender has added a big range into even my backyard and down my street a bit. I now have my 4k Smart TV hardwired through this and it works wonders. It does however need a restart at least once a week or else it stops working hence the 4 star review not 5.

So I took some time to test this product out. My house has a bit of concrete, but for the most part my WiFi has never been an issue. The only reason I got the extender was initially due to family coming over and while I have the NightHawk Pro Gaming Router which still handles well on its own, the bandwidth/distance being outside of my own home was an issue. I can say without a doubt both the router and this extender are a dynamic duo. Once setup the extender took care of everything and easily moved my devices from my router to the extender point with ease. I can now be outside my home doing a bbq with my family without worrying about my WiFi losing connection. This device fulfilled all my expectations and exceeded them. If you are looking for a top of the line extender/mesh network then this is it.

I have struggled to find the right WiFi router that would give me coverage throughout my entire home. I purchased a NightHawk router 2 years ago in hopes that this product would provide the answer. Although it dramatically improved wireless reach and speed, I still struggled with certain areas in the house. I went to Best Buy and spoke to a very knowledgable sales person who talked me out of purchasing an entirely new Mesh Network system. He stated that my NightHawk was an outstanding router and that he knew how to solve my problems. I have heard that before but after listening to him, I decided to purchase one NightHawk extender to determine whether it would perform as described. It absolutely "blew me away"!! I was so pleased that I went out the next weekend and bought another Extender to complete the job. Thank you NetGear and Thank you Best Buy!!

Easily able to install without problems. Netgear is probably one of the best company's for internet devices. Has a very good range for internet and can maintain fast speeds.

I bough this extender to replan a range extender that I couldn't get to work properly. It is very easy to set up and adds a very noticeable upgrade to the range of my current router.

We have a two story home and run a lot of streaming devices at one time, like security cams, TVs, PlayStation, phones, iPad, etc...We have the Netgear X10 router, Netgear AC1900 router and seemed to have a signal problem. Our speed was not an issue. Long story short, I was looking for a solution so I added this extender. It paired simply and placed it upstairs and wow did it do wonders. Just exactly what I wanted it to do.
