One of the best products I have bought this year from Amazon, very happy with my purchase!

I moved in recently to a extended room in a two bedroom house. The room is large and long about 25' by 35'! The lease owner installed internet service. I asked him to get a service pack so I could game online. 4 other people didn't care what speed we got. They only use their cells or watch movies. So after a week, I had lots of dropped connections. And the 5G service could never be picked up by my game consoles. So I was forced to stick to the 2.5G service. Still, my connection was weak and I would get messages saying "Low Bandwidth" when I watched movies on Amazon! So I bought this repeater because of so many positive reviews! I got this within 9 hours of ordering along with some AA batteries I needed. And I installed this the next day. I watched the installation movie clips provided. I wrote down information I needed to write down. Like the "Mywifiext.net" And I followed the directions as mentioned. Very simple straight forward directions and everything connected right away. After installing and renaming my connection a unique SSID name. I unplugged my Netgear repeater and put it near my room. The green lights lit up, indicating good signal reception. I connected all my game consoles and my cell phone and laptops. And I have been very happy since buying this repeater! This one of the best useful products I have bought this year! It does what it says, and says what it does! No more "Low Bandwidth messages or dropped signals"!

OMG read my updates... Direct lan to laptop to his device SCREAMS.

Wow I had never read the 1 star reviews. I likely would not have bought one. But I did... works GREAT except I tried direct LAN connection to my laptop and that doesn't work. (maybe user error? might have to configure it in settings)? I'll look into that. I run a observatory in my yard. 300+ feet from my router. I have 5G and 2.5G on the router. (cable internet). I could BARELY connect to the 2.5 300+ feet away. I got this for 1/2 way... but first time I tried it I just plugged it in next to the laptop 300+ feet out. It picked up good signal and was giving the laptop 5 bars. Works great. MY PROBLEM is my laptop is old and has slow wifi. So I want to try direct LAN connection. I got 50mbs in the house and 10 at the laptop. I may have to get a faster/newer laptop. Many reviews say it died in a couple months. I'll report back if mine does. UPDATE OMG! I worked on the LAN connection. Seems I had a bad cable. It's now working, My speedtest.net went from 15mbps to 66 mbps!!! Now that LAN is working - I'm going from 4 to 5 stars! PS - I think the 1 star reviews are user/error.

Works as Advertised

We have a Netgear Nighthawk R7900 router and an internet speed of 1 GB. The PS4 only works on the 2.5 Ghz WiFi at our house and it's maximum speed was 23.1 Mbps download and 1.1 Mbps upload. I installed the Netgear Nighthawk X6S WiFi extender on the far side of the house near PS4 and there was a clear improvement. The Extender can access the 5 Ghz signal and then we plugged the Ethernet cable into the PS4. The speed then went to 76.0 Mbps download and 3.3 Mbps upload, that's triple the speed! Setup was easy and it worked flawlessly with our already Netgear router. The devices recognized it without issue and they did not have to re-enter the password or anything, it just works.

Hillbilly Wi-fi

I set up residence on a family member's property...somewhere out in the yard over there... and needed to extend the wi-fi from his house. This item did the trick and I was quite impressed with my Redneck Skills by fastening a base to the bridge railing and then fastening an old Tupperware bucket over it for shelter. It's been that way for seven months now and has never failed once. My structure is about 100-120 feet from the main house and this extender is in the middle of that. At times I can "barely" get a peace of the house wi-fi but most often I get the extender. I get four bars from it in this position. On occasion it goes down to three bars. I never suffer speed cutbacks compared to the main house. Set up was very easy using the instructions. I was set up in an hour. I have plans to build a more permanent light post with mason jar lights and a bird house on top with a roof made from Budweiser cans. I'll also add a wind measure device made from an old bicycle wheel. I'll make a "wi-fi" icon painted on barn wood and hang that somewhere on the poll, making very sure that it's absolutely crooked. It will be a glorious art piece in time and be a testament to human ingenuity.

Effective and simple to set up

I felt obliged to write a review since there are some bad reviews of this product. Full disclosure, I've been in IT for 25 years so I generally know my way around technology. I base my 'ease of setup' on if I would be able to walk my mother-in-law through the setup over the phone. This product is brain dead simple to configure and get going if you have a WPS capable router. You simply push the WPS button on your router then push the button on the N300. Do this in the same room to ensure a strong signal. Once you get the green light on the N300, you're good to go and can upnlug it and move it to where you need. As for the range extending capabilities, my access point is on the second floor of our 3 story house (3200 square feet). The extender is on the first floor with the hope of improving wifi to the TV and the family room. I ran a speed test from my laptop. Prior to the N300 it got 50mbs/10mbs (down/up). With the N300, the laptop got 100mbs/24mbs. For the price, this is a good solution and much more cost effective than the mesh network systems. I'll be ordering a second N300 to put in the master bedroom. The speed isn't needed but the geek in me can't pass up a faster connection for the small cost of these extenders.

So far it's working great!

I puchased this because I was having a hard time streaming movies, programs, audio books, etc., in my sewing room or in the other end of the house. I'm self employed and work in both ends of the house throughout the day. Our router is located in the center of the house.. If my retired husband was watching something in the den, I was having a very hard time pulling anything else in.. This has fixed that problem. It took me a bit to figure out how to connect it to our router (maybe 1/2 hour), but once I figured it out, it was very easy to do. I watched a video on Utube, then followed the directions included with the device, and had it working in no time. It's very easy to unplug and replug in the other end of the house when I need to move it. With our internet program, we're suppose to be able to stream two video's at once, but it just wasn't working.. To upgrade to the next higher service would have cost $30 a month more..This device fixed the problem and all at a low price.

AC1200 - a Winner for Me!

I wasn't getting enough bandwidth to watch Amazon Prime video in my bedroom with the Netgear WN3000RP that was off my AT&T Uverse router. I tried the Netgear Nighthawk that was really too powerful for the internet speed I had and that I could not get to work. I then purchased this AC1200 and it works beautifully. I am able to stream Amazon Prime video, Netflix and HBOGO to my bedroom with ease. This is a winner for me. Even though I have a lower speed 2.4gz internet with Uverse, this range extender works great to give me the power I need throughout my house...even through a tiled bathroom and several walls. I also got a $10 coupon on this deal. I am so glad I purchased this item. As for installation, I do it on the computer rather than through the WPS button. However, after you get the Netgear AC1200 to show up on your wifi, you have to give it time to connect further before clicking on continue. I found it was not an instant thing. As a matter of fact, I thought it wasn't working because it kept saying it had not connected. I got side tracked with something and when I came back, it had connected! My best advice is after you make sure it is on your network, don't give up and give it some time to connect. I hope this my review will help others who need a range extender with Uverse.

SIMPLE & SUCCESSFUL WIFI EXTENDER!!!

#1) I am a customer who paid full price for this product. #2) I've needed something that would make my Comcast WiFi connection extend into my bedroom, which was never more than 25 feet from my modem. However, for some reason, I'm sure because of the layout of my home and the barriers between the rooms, I was never able to actually receive a nice strong connection in my bedroom. #3) I purchased this, with no knowledge of these products, purely based on the ratings and reviews. #4) Very fast shipping, as always, with my much loved Prime membership. :) #5) Very simple installation... the very 1st step is to simply plug it into the wall in the same room as the modem. I was unsuccessful using the "WPS" push setup method, however I've literally never had success using this method any other time, either, so I am not necessarily blaming this on the product. But, the other setup option is using your laptop, another very simple option, that was easily accomplished and fully functional within 10 minutes [and, that was being distracted with conversation, so I'd say a normal person would do this within 5 mins, or less :)] Then, once you've completed setup, you unplug the extender and move it in position between the modem and the area that you're wanting coverage. Literally couldn't be any easier!!! #6) Before, I couldn't get a decent connection in my bedroom at all, now it literally seems like I'm sitting right next to my modem anywhere in my bedroom with FULL STRENGTH for the WiFi connection on my laptop. GREAT PRODUCT, VERY HAPPY WITH THE PERFORMANCE!!! :)

Works Great and with Easy Set-Up.

Great extension of my wireless. I have a" man cave/office" in my unattached garage about 100 feet away from my cable company supplied Wi-Fi modem. It actually was able to reach this but the signal without the extender but it was weak and often dropped the connection or slow speed. I installed this NETGEAR N300 about 50 feet away. I now get great connectivity for my laptop. The initial setup is to: - Plug the Range Extender into an outlet (I put them side-by-side) very close to the modem. You DO NOT use an Ethernet cord to set this extender up. - Wait for the solid green LED power light of the extender. - Push the WPS button on the extender and another LED light will blink. - Push the WPS button on you old Modem and watch them connect. I had to look for the WPS button on the old modem because it not obvious but it does exist. - Once the Router LED light on the Extender is solid green, unplug the extender and move it into an area that already can receive some signal, (I placed the Extender 1/2 way between my office and the old modem) as it cannot "extend" what it cannot detect! - Select the new Network name it has created (it will be your old network name with an -EXT at the end) - Use the password you use on your existing Wi-Fi system and you are done!

This Extender does work pretty well

When it arrived and I took it out of the box I thought it was broken because the manual and directions kind of suck because to do the step by step directions don't work right. It took some trial and error to figure it out because I thought I had a bad extender out of the box. 1st thing you want to do is plug it into an outlet right next to your main router and what that does is let's them sync up to each other. 2nd thing you want to do when the extender power button is solid green is push the WPS button on your main router until it's blinking and then push the WPS button on the extender. 3rd thing you should see the lights on the extender light up on the Router, Power, and WPS. The Device light will stay unlit until you try and log into the extender. Click your WiFi settings and you will see a new 2.5ghz and a 5ghz and those are your new ones that are broadcast through the extender. I know this is confusing but you need to enter your password that you use on your Internet provider on the new extender and log into it and try both the 2.5ghz and the 5ghz and save both of them and you should see the Device light on the extender light up to green. When you have done the complete install with the WPS feature on your main router then you ready to move it to the other side of the house but don't move it to far because you mighy not get a strong signal. Mine is about 20ft from my main router and it covers this old stone wall farmhouse perfect. The last thing you want to do is hit the WPS button on your router again and hit the WPS button on the extender again and if there within a good distance of each other and all lights are green then you should be up and running but if there not green then you will have to move it closer to your main router. If your main router doesn't have a WPS option on it then you might have to call netgear online support to help you out because I didn't find another way to install it correctly. Another thing is if the power ever does go our just sync them back up with the WPS button and wait like 5mins and it will work again because you already did all the setup. I leave mine on 24/7 and it runs a little warm here and there but that's normal and I have never had any issues except power outages from thunder storms. Hope this helps someone else but every Internet providers router might be different but I'm using the new Comcast router on the triple play with the works.
