  1. RegisK

    This Netgear model does not communicate well with Motorola MT 8733 modem + router with Xfinity cable. It is a software issue, not a hardware problem. Solved by eero system.

  2. Driver

    Work perfect with Verizon and easy for setup I recommended

  3. StephenM

    Nothing wrong with this Nether unit. Just would not work for ATT home WiFi

  4. DavidR

    I got this to boost signal to outdoor cameras and the performance is extremely impressive. Very easy to set up, especially if you already have the nighthawk app for your router. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because the cost is very high compared to some alternatives. If you want the best, this is it.

  5. EmmanuelC

    Excelente product, netgear is one the most reliable proctucts u could buy

  6. rcsaugus

    Excellent booster, I RJ-45 directly to the TV works great. Uses the same signal so there’s no extra signal.

  7. TiffanyS

    This is an awesome addition for extended coverage due to my router being so far away from where I need better connection!

  8. PatrickC

    It was easy to set up and could be moved anywhere once setup was completed. Goes network more range and allows you to have 4 nearby wired components for older items like tvs or older blue ray players

  9. TiffanyH

    After moving office upstairs and about 1,500 ft away from our ATT router we needed a stronger signal and ethernet connection without calling the utility company. This product provided both. Setup was simple – all through an app. Just read instructions as you must be connected to Netgear’s network prior to setup. Highly recommend!

  10. LALUIS

    Very good item. It does its job. Very efficient and was able to connect more electronic devices into the extender wifi

  11. Sunny

    Got it for my husband since he bought a new PC for the holiday.

  12. DanW

    Product does amazing. No issues and definitely extended the range of wifi.

  13. Mark

    I received the product and the installation to my network was exactly as advertised. It was easy to accomplish. The unit extended the signal as I was led to believe. I have nothing negative or “constructive” to offer. The staff at the store suggested this item to solve a signal strength issue and they were correct

  14. Zodyak

    After falsely suspecting issues with our new Vizio TV, it was a failed network connection from the beginning. A hidden modem/router in our closet (new construction) was guilty of obstructing the network signal. Following a Geek Squad tech visit, a single wall between our new TV and Wi-Fi box was responsible for the weak signal. We then turned to the Best Buy sales associate who identified the problem, saying we probably need a signal booster. Yep, that was the issue all along. We purchased the NETGEAR Range Extender to boost the weak Wi-Fi signal and lived happily ever after. So, 5 FILLED STARS for this product. I’d recommend two things: reach out to Best Buy staff or a Geek Squad specialist then go with a trusted brand like NETGEAR for your Wi-Fi network connecting solutions! Thank you (again) Best Buy Beaverton Team!!

  15. JohnV

    Never got it to work. Needed for my printer wasted $100

  16. Movielover

    Works great!! No more black out spots or drops at the back of the house.

  17. Isaiah

    I had a dead spot in my house and the extender worked really well, from 20 mbps download to 200 mbps.

  18. ChantalV

    I live in a very rural area where Internet is a problem. This is help me get a better signal for my security cameras totally worth it.

  19. Kevinsonfire

    When I first set up the Mesh Extender it worked great but by day 2 it was barely working. After some troubleshooting, I realized I had plugged it into a power strip which I believe was messing with the system after moving it to a wall outlet it has been functioning perfectly and had a blazing fast single throughout my whole house.

  20. Ordie212

    Was able to extend my Wi-Fi to my driveway, and garage, now I can watch my sports and open my garage via Wi-Fi

  21. RhondaW

    This product has helped put my wifi signal so much!!! I couldn’t be happier! Now everyone is happy no matter where they are in the house.

  22. BradK

    Bought it hoping to extend my WiFi about 100 yards and it work great I highly recommend!!!!!

  23. 1987

    Do not buy this if you are planning on using your ps5 with this extender. It will NOT work. Ever since purchased, I had been stuggling for weeks trying different things, including setting it up several times from the beginning. Every device connects to the extender and it works great, excpet for the ps5. So if I or my nephews wanted to play online, we would have to disconnect the extender, which would leave some without wifi.
    Customer service was actually great the third time around. Its best to call them instead of chatting. We went through all the troubleshooting options, but nothing. It ended up with a compatibility issue with the ps5. Anyway, what I ended up doing was simply going to extenders menu, and just blocking the ps5 from connecting to the extender, so this it way it would be forced to connect to our main router. I literally just thought of soing this, 3 months in. Tech support didnt even think of that silly simple option. Ps5 is not online and i dont have to unplug my extender to use it. Anyway, if you buy it and do have a ps5, this might have to be the only option available. I dont want to call Playstation and spend time with this. Last call with tech support was 50 minutes.

  24. HOTDOG56

    This Range Extender is just what I needed!!!! The price was also great!!!!

  25. MatthewS

    Very easy to set up and has good range. It’s nice that I don’t have to have it take up the whole wall socket.

  26. AnnaL

    Works great to enhance the coverage of my $50/month Verizon 5g home internet.

  27. Shuja

    No Problems. Great product. I need to extend my WIFI’s range. As I have a home office setup in my basement. The setting up of this extender was little tough (not user friendly) but after I got it figure it out, it is working like a charm.

  28. RolandS

    I could not get the unit to operate with my Nighthawk AX4.

  29. RobertoC

    very easy to set up and works perfect no problems with connections and fast

  30. TannyaG

    If I can give 0 starts I would! Don’t buy this junk at first it worked but it kept kicking me out of my wifi kids couldn’t play their video games at all because wifi kept falling never again

  31. Morsebs138

    Easy to setup and it solved my home wifi issues. The speeds have been great so far – highly recommended

  32. MPelletier

    Easy set up, worked without fuss with minimal setup out of the box.

  33. RobertP

    Junk. Poor instructions. Did not work as it should have

  34. RobertS

    Used to get dual channel for certain devices that need to hook up to 2.4. Had a hard time connecting to router with sub speeds at first. Re set router and all is working well now. Problem devices have now connected on 2.4hz when I couldn’t get them connected on my mesh router. Also used as a stand alone connection point for gaming computer set up with low ping and fast up and down speeds. App is difficult IMHO patience is key.

  35. Microwave2

    hard to set up for me. needed to get tech up. did not make that amount of difference

  36. FrederickD

    It’s busted my signal through out my home and outside to the pool area.

  37. RoyC

    Excellent WiFi extender. Give strong coverage in once a “dead zone” for house.

  38. GregS

    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!

  39. AlexanderTGOD

    It’s fast to setup with the application and connects with your WiFi, but it sometimes conflicts with the Tp-link deco router where there’s no WiFi connection to a point I had to unplug the power cord and plug it back again to reboot. I tried to connect to the app for rebooting but couldn’t connect.

  40. JayD

    Blows away the piece of junk I had from D-Link. Works great and gives great coverage for my single level home. Not sure about multiple floors.

  41. Bgoldy

    Did exactly what I wanted. Extended my work to handle my needs.

  42. Jono

    This Wi-Fi extender is great, I use this in the garage as a mesh system to the house and we have Wi-Fi everywhere, very happy

  43. Paul

    The WiFi extender worked as advertised. It connected up to my router flawlessly and greatly improved my signal strength in the desired area.

  44. Rioorinoco

    It boosted my wifi signal in my home. It works!!!!

  45. Steve94

    This extender allowed me to move our 5G cellular gateway to an upstairs location with a better signal and still get a strong wifi signal downstairs. That improved download speeds throughout the house by a surprising amount!

    Initial setup using the Nighthawk app was not difficult.

    But when the cellular gateway rebooted and decided to use 5Ghz wifi channel 100 DFS, the extender could not see that channel at all. Had to force the gateway to use a fixed 5Ghz wifi channel that the extender could see. All was good after that.

    I had no idea that could happen when I bought the extender so that was a frustrating failure at the time.

  46. RobertB

    Worked well once contacted tech service at net gear. instructions were not clear and did not help me.

  47. IsaiahH

    Router is in basement, I live on top floor.
    Took my wifi connection from 1 bar to full bars wifi 6.
    Plus the ethernet ports on back are a definite plus for gaming systems+ desktops.

  48. Bigmama

    Easy setup! Gives that much needed extra boost to my existing Wi-Fi. I’ve used Netgear in the past, same great quality,

  49. HelenC

    Used in the basement where internet is nearly impossible. This has been an amzing product.

  50. TammieJ

    Seems to have helped out with getting better signal to our upstairs rooms.
