LOTS of Coverage!
We use these to provide SOLID coverage over the ENTIRETY of our Mountain Top Ranch (about 10 Acres on Top of the "Plateau" where our Home, Recreational Areas, and Upper Pastures are located. We also use them "Daisy-Chained Together" to cover our DEEP Valleys surrounding our Mountain. Each Extender is named "(Our SSID Name)_(Area Of Coverage)".. Example: "Our-Router_West" is the extender that covers the Western Top Part Of Our Ranch. When we "Link" or "Daisy Chain" several of these together to provide WiFi coverage down in the Valleys surrounding our Mountain, We use a format like "Our-Router_West1" ("The FIRST 'Daisy Chained' Western Netgear Extender, Connected to the MAIN Netgear Extender that covers the Western Part of the TOP of our Ranch, Which is Connected Directly to our Home's Router"), "Our-Router_West2" ("The SECOND Netgear Western Extender, which is Daisy-Chain-Connected to the FIRST Western Extender, Which is connected to the Main Western Netgear Extender, Which is connected to our Home's Router" - That's a total of THREE Netgear Extenders, Covering the Western Areas Of Our Property, Up top, and down in the Western Valley) etc. etc... You start losing 'Throughput Speed' FAST when Daisy Chaining these units together, but at least you still have "More than Decent" WiFi Coverage, even (ESPECIALLY) in areas where Cell Coverage can be spotty (Like down in our Steep Valley to our North, Where our Natural Springs run, which is a pretty sheer 600 Foot Drop in Elevation, with only a few hundred feet of Width before Climbing UPWARD again to more of our property.. Cell Coverage down there is 'WISHFUL THINKING' at best, even with a Cell Tower Company Renting some space we don't use to place a Mini-Cell-Tower on our Property, so the Cell Companies can cut STRAIGHT ACROSS this HUGE Bowl of Mountains in the Area we live in, to provide Coverage to SEVERAL State Parks, WITHOUT having to run MULTIPLE towers on the Mountains that Surround us in the distance, 360 degrees.. Imagine a "Pound Cake Bowl"... The Edges of the Bowl would be the Mountains surrounding us in the distance, and the Plateau Sticking up in the center of the Bowl, is where WE live). Our iPhones will use "WiFi" to place calls, when they can't get Cell Coverage, so it works out GREAT for us! Recently, One of our Family Members built a home on land I gave them up here, about 900 "Air Feet" away from our house (So they don't have to see/hear us, and we don't have to see/hear them).. When I bought this mountain, NO Utility Company would TOUCH IT as far as "Providing Lines this far from Their Main Lines", So I had to buy all of the Power/Cable/Water/etc lines myself, and hire Contractors to run them all up here (Buried).. I sized ALL of the Utilities to be able to support 10 homes eventually, as our Children can afford to build up here once they are at a place in life where they can work from home if they wish, Or build a "Vacation Home" up here until they CAN live up here full time... I bought HUGE spools of BIG Fiber-Optic Cable Line from 'Corning', and had contractors run it a LONG way, to the Local Cable Company's Main Lines, that Carry Cable TV/Internet between Counties (Same for Power Lines, etc). So we have a LOT more High Speed Bandwidth than I need, Even working from home... Until our Family Member who just built a home here can afford to connect to our Main Fiber Line to get Cable Internet of their own, I bought Two more of these Netgear units, and Daisy-Chained them together toward their new house, which is East of ours. I Fully expected to need THREE Extenders to run 900 "Air-Feet", But TWO of them (One set in about the middle of one of our Upper Pastures, and the Second Unit Plugged into their Enclosed Screen-Room on their Back Porch) provides them with Decently fast WiFi Internet!!! We DO live WAY OUT in the middle of nowhere, without "Other signals everywhere to shorten the range of the signals WE produce" (for many different things), so YMMV if you live in a Suburb or something, but they work FLAWLESSLY up here for us. ALL of the FIRST "Main" Netgear Extenders are placed outside our home, in a Waterproof (But "Signal Transparent") Enclosure. Those First Extenders are simply used to grab the WiFi Signal from our Main Router inside our house (Going through "THICK Stone Walls" is TOUGH for even THE BEST WiFi Router!) and then "Extend The WiFi Signal Out Across our Property"... We have Four of these, Set North/South/East/West around the outside of our home, each about 50 Feet away from our Home. I've found it's easiest just to set up each unit by going to Netgear's site when you find the extender on your device, creating a login, and then you can change ALL of your Units from a Netgear Book-Mark TO EACH UNIT (You REALLY need to have a separate Netgear Bookmark for EACH extender!). From those bookmarks, You can rename each unit, set it's signal strength, see what's connected to it, AND how good the Signal Strength is, TO AND FROM, each unit, etc. I also found that if you just connect your iPhone (or whatever you may be carrying around) to EACH unit ONCE, let your device store that information, Then choose the option on your device to "Connect Automatically To Known Networks (with better signal strength)", Then we can walk, ride the Horses or ATVs, pretty much anywhere, and our iPhones switch from Extender Unit to Extender Unit without even hesitating! Our Devices connect to the Extenders with better Signal Strength as we travel around outside Seamlessly. We never even know when the device has swapped connections from one extender to another. Normally this is where I'd say, "For the Price These Can't Be Beat'... But I've Paid MUCH MORE for WiFi Extenders that didn't perform HALF as well as these do! "And For The Price", you can scatter them everywhere over large areas. "Tech Tip": Lightly MIST the INSIDE of a clear "Cake Platter" CD/DVD Bulk Storage Dome with WHITE paint (To reflect the Sun's Heat AWAY from the Cake-Platter, and keep UV OFF the Extenders), Run an Outdoor-Rated Extension Cord through a hole in the bottom of the Cake Patter Storage Case (created when you cut the Center Spindle out of the base), Hot-Glue the Extension Cord in Place close to the bottom of the case, AND to close up the Gaps in the Bottom Hole to keep the bugs out, And you have a HIGHLY decent "Outdoor, Weather Resistant, Signal Transparent, WiFi Signal Extender Dome" I simply set up each new unit here in the house, log in to the Netgear Website, Choose which OTHER unit I want the NEW unit to connect to (either our Main Router, OR one of the Extenders out further from the house), and let the NetGear Site set it up for me (Bookmark the Netgear Site Associated with EACH INDIVIDUAL UNIT!).. Then I unplug the unit, take to where I need it, Plug it back in to Power, and it's good to go! Once we allow ALL of our Devices (iPhones, Palm-Tops, etc) to connect to each extender and save it as a "known Network", I turn OFF the "Broadcast SSID" Option, so no one else sees the (Now HUGE) WiFi Network "Publicly" (without Special Software, or a Signal Sniffer, etc).. But even if someone DID happen to somehow get onto our Property, past all of our Security Fences, and Security Systems, and find the WiFi Signal, well, that's what STRONG PASSWORDS, Encryption, And FIREWALLS are for! It can be a pain, but our Main Router is Set-Up to ONLY allow use by "Devices We Specifically Allow". "Guests" are allowed to connect to a "GUEST ACCOUNT", which puts them on a Secondary Network, so if their devices are Compromised, or have a Virus/Worm/etc, it can't propagate through to other devices on our Main Network. And if their devices contain a Keystroke logger, then whoever is reading the Logger's Output only has a Guest Password, WHICH CHANGES EVERY 10 DAYS, and Each Guest has a PERSONAL password that identifies THEM.. We do it that way so that if a Month from now, someone we don't know starts trying to hack into our network using an old Guest Password [Like: "glenn-1s-C00l-0CT"] that was used by a friend that visited recently, we know to contact THAT friend and tell them they've been compromised ("glenn-1s-C00l-0CT", LOOKS like, "Glenn-Is-Cool-Oct", But what it ACTUALLY tells US is "It was "Glenn", "First Part" [1s] "Of October")... But even then Our Router wouldn't even respond to a MAC Address that's not CURRENTLY on the "Guest List" marked as "Allowed", so even someone Spoofing his MAC Address wouldn't work, since his Guest Access was COMPLETELY deleted the day he left. Probably 10 Times More than you Wanted to know, But nowadays Security Risks are VERY REAL, VERY possible, and that's even MORE of a Concern When you have WiFi COMPLETELY Covering Tens Of Acres. These are VERY useful Items!

Extends a wifi network well, easy setup, streams video and music, can share a printer over network
So far so good with this extender. I am using this as an extender and not a wireless access point, fyi. The wireless router in my home is too far away from certain areas of the home to provide a good connection and this solves that problem well. The extender is connected to the router at 144 mbps, the max for the router. The range on the extender is very good. It serves an area of about a two bedroom apartment and to outside (patio) portions of that as well. My devices connect at 144 mps to the extender. Using seedtest.net my upload and download speeds are slightly less that when directly connected to the router itself but this is to be expected since this adds one more link in a chain of connections. In other words, connection speeds to the internet when connected to the extender are still comparable to to the speeds when directly connected to the router. I can do fast uploads and downloads of files, stream music, stream video, and stream high definition video at 1080p to my smart TV when connected to the extender. This brings this portion of my home back to the electronic age. Setup time is not bad. I connected this to my wireless router using the extender's internal software. It is also possible to do it using WPS (when you push a button on your router and then on the extender and let them connect to each other) but using the software gives me a bit more control of how it is setup. You need to wait about two minutes for this to fully boot. Be patient. Then you need to connect to the wifi signal that the extender transmits (not that your router transmits). The name of the extender's network (SSID) at first setup will be "NETGEAR_EXT." Then open your web browser (phone, tablet, or computer) to "www.mywifiext.net" After that the webpage will lead you through the setup process. Basicaly it involves chosing the wifi network you want to extend, connecting to it, then naming the wifi network that the extender will be transmitting. Then reconnect your device to the newly named extender network. You may need to experiment with placement of the extender in order to get the best connection to the router network you wish to extend. If you have a good connection between the router and the extender (indicted by a green light on the left side of the extender), this works quite well. If you do not have a good connection between the router and extender (an amber light or a red light), then the experience will be frustrating. I have actually been able to place this in an outlet behind a piece of furniture so it is completely hidden. Depending on the environment and the type of furniture etc, this may not be possible for everyone. An oddity with this: while connected to the extender network I am unable to use remote desktop connection (Windows 7 OS) to connect remotely to a PC by name. It does connect using the IP address of the PC however. Also, FYI, I am able to share a printer connected to a PC using Windows 7 printer sharing. The PC sharing the computer and the the other devices connecting to the shared resource are all on the extender's network. It is nice to be able to just print something while sitting on the patio with my laptop. Hope this info helps y'all.

Gets the job done, but can be spotty
I purchased this because I needed a better wifi connection in my apartment. I live in a basement apartment of an old house, and I was sharing the wifi router with a tenant on the second floor. The router was on the first floor (between both of us), and it just wouldn't reach to all parts of my basement and was slow most of the time, or would drop out completely (particularly on my phone). I purchased this extender to boost my signal. In short, this extender works, and I have better wifi down here, (most notably on my phone) and it reaches to all areas. I placed it in my bathroom, where it gets a "green" signal, indicating it has a good connection to the router upstairs. The set-up was really easy for me, a reasonably tech-savvy 20 something female. I did the WPS set-up and had to try twice, but all you do is push like two buttons and wait, and it worked. BUT that isn't to say there aren't some drawbacks. . . I DO find that my devices are slower across the board, just by having brought the extender down here and connected some devices to it. It is also slower according to the number of devices connected to it. If I have my laptop and my phone connected, my netflix is slow. Or if I'm watching netflix and then pull out my laptop, it won't load webpages (or does it slowly). This is usually worse at night, and it might just be our main internet we are drawing from isn't the best, but that has been my experience. I have to limit what devices are connected all at the same time. Also, I have experienced it totally dropping my connection. One minute it works, the next minute it won't (but it still shows 5 full bars). That has happened on my phone a few times, where a webpage will just automatically not load or stop loading. And things will be really slow. Then, it will just work like normal again after a few minutes. Overall, I would still recommend this product, and at the end of the day, it was $30 once, as opposed to $30 each month to have to pay for my own internet. I think dealing with those annoyances mentioned are worth the savings because it has never REALLY hindered my ability to use the internet in my home, stream video, etc.

WOW!!! A PRODUCT THAT DOES WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO AT A GREAT PRICE!
I bought this Extender based on the overall high reviews owners have given it plus I have a NetGear router that's two years old and has performed flawlessly. Not disappointed to this point; it's been operational for five days. I am extremely pleased with it's performance. We live in a two story house plus an unfinished basement that is used a great deal for working out, grandkids crafts, my wifes home business, and several other hobbies. The finished portion of the house is 2,800 sq. ft. The basement is about 1,500 sq. ft. The base router is in my office at the extreme northwest corner of the main level which makes it difficult to receive a strong signal at the other end of the house where our bedroom is, as well as in the basement. Here is how my experience has gone so far. First of all I give it a Five Star Rating for ease of set-up. I used the WPS setup feature for the unit as my router is compatible with the extender. Plugged the extender in a couple of feet from the router and waited for the lights to go green as the booklet directed. Once that was set I followed the instruction for the WPS setup by the numbers and had it operational in less than five minutes. With the unit and my iPhone "talking", I continued to follow the simple instructions... unplugged the extender and walked to the other end of the house, ten feet short of being at the opposite corner of the house from my router (southeast corner) and plugged the unit into an outlet in our bedroom on the south wall. At that point I held my breath, figuring if there would be an issue, now is the time. To my delight the extender booted up and the lights went green. I the Setting in my iPhone and found it still "talking" to the extender with 100% strength. I then went to my iPad on the dresser, to the Settings, WiFi and waited for the Extender to show up on the "Other" networks list. When it did I logged onto the Extender, bye the way it uses the same password as your router, and it came up as expected. I also give this product a Five Star Rating on it's performance. After walking around the entire house, all three floors, I was extremely pleased to find we now have full strength signal coverage in every room, every nook-and-crany, every corner within the house. Haven't yet check outside, but would expect it to be equally well covered. I could not be more pleased with this product at this time. If you have family or friends that you visit with a WiFi signal you have logged onto or you use WiFi at work with your cell phone, laptop or table you will find the same seamless transition as you walk around your home. As the signal drops from the router your unit will simply pick up the signal from the Extender with no hiccups or noticeable hesitation. You don't even realize it's happening. I found nothing to detract from my satisfaction regarding this little unit and would highly recommend it to others. I would mention again that part of the reason I bought this NetGear Extender was the fact that I already have a NetGear wireless router with the WPS feature. Their compatibility may play a large part in the ease of setup and seamless operation. Between my wife and myself we run six Apple products wirelessly and two HP wireless printers here. My son, daughter-in-law and grandkids all use their iPads, iPods and iPhones here on my system when they walk in the door. It takes only a minute to log onto the extender so they enjoy the same seamless connectivity they have at home. I trust this review is helpful to those of you who are looking for a way to complete the coverage in your homes. This unit could be set up by an novice techie with little to no experience with routers. UPDATE It's been almost a month since this review was written and I continue to be impressed with how well this little piece of electronics performs. Still living up to my expectations.

Great once you get it up and running.
Love how it works, but it gets 4 stars for a complicated set up. That is, it's very complicated for those using WEP Encryption. The WPS set up sounds MUCH easier. The trick is, when using the web browser set up, you must connect the computer to the NETGEAR_EXT SSID and ONLY that SSID. If you are still connect in anyway at all to another network you will not be able to access the necessary webpage. You will get an error about the page not existing. The easiest way to do this is to connect the Extender to the router via an ethernet cable. and remove any other ethernet cables connected to the router. Then disconnect from any WiFi networks and make sure they aren't checked to automatically connect again or else it will interrupt the process. Then follow the set up instructions as outlined in the installation manual. When you've reached the final step it will prompt you to connect any devices to the new extension (don't worry you don't actually have to connect every single device you will ever sign in with, one works just fine). When you hit continue, it may seem like it didn't work. You will likely get an error page about lost internet connection or an unavailable web page. At this point you may connect to your regular network again. Likewise you should be able to connect any device to the network extension exactly as you would with any other network. The setup was very frustrating to figure out on my own, but I was extremely pleased to find that the WiFi signal in my room that used to fluctuate between 7-13% signal strength max is now 100%. The signal from the little antennae doesn't go through walls very well but it gets the job done. Side note: I have seen two of these on Amazon for different prices although sold by the same provider? Not even a different model, the exact same one. One is priced at about $40 and the other $70. It's definitely worth the $40, but I don't think I'd pay $70. Try to find the lower one if you can. (This is obviously subject to change but as of October 2014 that is the case). EDIT: I've had this for less than a year and run into some serious problems. When our actual router needed a factory reset, well this needed one two in order to connect to the new configuration. Well, setting it up again proved to be next to impossible. After executing the factory reset as instructed, the device would not stay powered on and connected for more than 5 seconds or so. It keeps rebooting. If I hadn't checked, double checked, and triple check, I would think that the reset button got stuck, but that isn't the case. If I just plug it in and leave it alone for a while it will stay on, but as soon as I attempt to connect to the main desktop to initiate setup, it lasts almost exactly 5 seconds every time and then reboots. And the so called "support" offers nothing more than a pdf version of the manual.

Poor Instructions But Not Too Bad If You Use a Mobile Device
The way to connect this extender is by using a Kindle Fire, Android Tablet, iPad or other mobile device. The instructions are not very clear on what you need to install the device. So if you assume you can install this device using your desktop computer and that you'll be able to find the "wireless manager," you probably will have difficulty. In fact, some of the online questions for Netgear and Microsoft are where do you find the manager and how do you make it work. Unfortunately, the answers are typical techno-speak and basically difficult or impossible to follow. So for those who cannot read between the lines of the instructions, the way you install this is: 1) Plug in the device. It will probably take several seconds, sometimes minutes, before the power light registers green. Do not despair. The instructions won't tell you that this will take some time, but it does. 2) Get out your iPad, Kindle Fire, or other WIRELESS tablet or device. DON'T EXPECT TO USE YOUR DESKTOP computer to make the connection. Go to the "Settings" of your wireless device and wait for it to recognize your router name plus a suffix ___EXT. When that appears, choose that wifi connection. You will be asked for the same password you use on your real router. Enter that password. 3) You will be taken to a website for setting up the extender. If you try to access this website from your DESKTOP computer, you'll get an error message. Once you get to this website, the instructions in the package will start to make sense. 4) When you've finished the set up, unplug the extender and take it to the location where you want to boost the wireless connectivity. Again, using your mobile device (or other computer), use the "Settings" menu to find the widi connection. Choose the network connection with your wireless name PLUS the ___EXT suffix. The password will be the same as your regular wifi network. The devices in proximity to the extender will receive a better wifi signal. I think the device is fine, but the instructions were not very well done. I think it would be helpful if the writers had made it clear that you need to use a MOBILE device (not just a computer, tablet, etc.) to set this up. In other words, you cannot set this up (at least not that I was able to discover) with your regular desktop computer. With an iPad or Kindle Fire, the process is very easy and provides decent boosted wifi. I gave this a the three-star because this installation process could have been so much clearer with more precise instructions or even a quick little video. UPDATE: Well, we just had to upgrade our router/gateway. I am sorry to say that this extender was just as bothersome to set up using the reset as before. My instructions still worked BUT you cannot do this on an iPhone. For some reason even after you enter the correct router password, the latest iPhone OS will not let you access the continue button. I was able to set this up using my Kindle Fire HDX. I have since purchased this router: MSRM US750 750M Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender Wireless WiFi Repeater With Dual External Antennas and 360 Degree WiFi Covering, which was much simpler to set up and seems to be providing the same level of access. (I did use an iPhone to set it up.) I tested both extenders using a dead spot/download speed app, and they appear to work about the same. (There also are less expensive versions of this MSRM router that others say work well.) So, I've turned off my Netgear router...for now, but am keeping it as a back-up.

NETGEAR N300 WiFi Range Extender (EX2700)
This arrived this morning and I finally did manage to get it up and running despite my personal blunders. I did even manage to update it's firmware. My first mistake: I forgot that I had my router locked down to not accept any new devices ( MAC addresses ). Once I realized this I began to make progress. Also in the router I had remote management turned off. I also had an issue with my Chrome browser not wanting to make the connection, but when I tried it on IE it connected right away and was able to complete the setup and update firmware. I run Windows 7 by the way. The funny thing of it is that now that I do have it set up, the Chrome browser will connect to the device's set up page and I can change settings and such through Chrome. So now all my devices are connecting to it just fine, and the extender seems to have a stronger signal strength than my router does, which is a Netgear n750. I have no noticeable difference in internet download and upload speeds whether I am hardwire connected to my pc or using wifi with this extender or my other extender which is a FarFi. All speeds are closely comparable. My main purpose in acquiring this extender was to place it near to my wifi cameras overlooking the outside. I was frequently getting "weak signal. reconnect the camera" messages, and also frozen camera screens. My 2 Yi Home Cameras just happened to die the other day so I cannot use them anymore. So at this time I just have my Amcrest ProHD 1080P camera connected to it, and also my Fire7 tablet and both are working perfectly. I will get a replacement wifi camera soon and see how well that fares with this extender. I think will be ok. (It will NOT be a Yi Home Camera). I will update my review in a month or two to say how things are going with me and this extender and if it really was the answer to my wifi camera problems. I think it does look promising! :) UPDATE SINCE YESTERDAY: Less than one day into using this extender I've noticed my Amcrest ProHD 1080P camera's live video app on my Samsung phone no longer freezes up on the screen provided I also have my phone connected to this extender. I'm thrilled about that! UPDATE: 5/8/18 Well I finally got my new wifi camera up and running. It's connected to this extender as my Amcrest ProHD 1080P camera is. This new camera is a Wansview Q3 and it is totally loving this NETGEAR N300 WiFi Range Extender. No complaints here! This extender is totally handling running live feeds for the both cameras and also anything else I throw at it. Neither tablet screen or the live view on my pc freezes up. YES! The NETGEAR N300 WiFi Range Extender IS the answer to my frequently disconnecting live views from my wifi security cameras that I've always needed! I'm SOOO happy I found this extender. As far as I am concerned if I need another extender for anything else this is the one I will get (again). Don't believe the naysayers, this extender delivers SOLID PERFORMANCE.

Easy Set Up & No More "Dead Spots"
I purchased another brand's range extender last year, struggled with its set up, and had to reset it over and over and over. In the long run, it never did provide any additional signal strength where needed. I was reluctant to spend money on another range extender, but thought this might be a good time to try again. Having recently changed internet providers, I needed to buy a new compatible cable modem router. After much research, I decided to purchase a N300 Neatgear WiFi DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Model Router (C3000). I took a chance and bought the N300 WiFi Range Extender (EX2700) at the same time, and hoped for a good outcome. I was NOT disappointed!! Step 1 was to set up the cable modem router. To my surprise, the cable modem router set up was very quick and easy, and signal strength was excellent -- except in the usual "dead spot" in my house. But, I have never ever had any "connectable" signal strength in this particular spot. So - it was time for step 2, setting up the N300 Netgear WiFi Range Extender to see if it would really work. All in all, it took less than 5 minutes to set up the EX2700 range extender! Amazed with the ease of installation, the true test was ahead ... would it work?!? I plugged the EX2700 into a wall outlet within the area of my "dead spot", logged in to join the extender network - and WOW - I had ALL of the wifi signal bars and connected with ease!!! I have continued to have full wifi signal strength from the Netgear EX2700 Range Extender ever since! Full signal strength, and have not had to reset the unit at all. Very exciting - considering I could not get ANY signal in the "dead spot" before!! I highly recommend the N300 WiFi Range Extender (EX2700) for ease of installation and superior performance. The price is excellent, too!!!

Does the job just right!
Been using the extender for almost two weeks and it looks like the perfect purchase for my situation. My main router cannot be relocated since it's a fibrenet connection. Before buying this, I used to get speeds of 10-15 Mbps over WiFi (against my internet plan of 150 Mbps which is achieved by getting devices very close to the router or simply connecting to the router via LAN cable) in the room where I work. Getting a good connection and not reaping its benefits would be a bummer. That's when I did my research and came to buying this product; set it up the moment I received it. I was surprised to see the MRP on the label which stated Rs. 3500! But it's alright since I got mine for Rs. 1600 from SD Infotech. Inside the box were a quick start guide and the extender itself, nicely packed. Looking at pictures on the listing, no clarity regarding this in customer reviews, and travel adapters being listed under "Frequently bought together", I thought I'll be needing an adapter to convert the plug to fit the Indian socket, but to my surprise, the extender sported the Indian style plug by default. The extender has four lights - two big and two small - which change colors to indicate changes. The big lights indicate the signal strengths between the extender and main router, and the extender and wireless devices connected to it by changing colors - green (excellent), amber (good), red (poor). It also has a LAN port on the bottom side. Setting it up was easy and straightforward. The instructions to set it up are mentioned very clearly in the quick start guide. My router does not have a WPS button so I set it up using my laptop, which took about 3 minutes. Later, I set it up in the room where the signal was weak and the speeds were low, played with the position of the antennas, and voila! The speeds were up by a great margin - around 60 Mbps on WiFi and 95 Mbps via LAN. They're nowhere close to 150 Mbps but I believe this is the fastest it can get in this particular corner of the house. Overall, I am satisfied with the extender since it does what it's supposed to in the best way possible. 3 mobile phones and 2 TVs remain connected wirelessly, and one laptop via LAN, all at the same time and there is no noticeable drop in performance.

Bueno bonito y barato
Me parece muy funciona, útil y fácil de configurar. Tiene buena cobertura, Para una casa de 100 m^2 con el módem que trae el carrier y ese repetidor ya tengo alcance sin problemas en toda la casa.

Excelente producto a bajo costo. Cumple su propósito.
El paquete llegó mucho antes de lo estimado, por DHL. Cumple su propósito de repetir y ampliar la señal de una excelente manera. Fácil configuración y no ha fallado para nada. Una semana de uso. Lo recomiendo ampliamente, si quieres ir a la segura compra este producto, estaba indeciso entre éste modelo (N300) y el AC750, pero realmente con este es mas que suficiente. Lo compré en $628.42, pero después ví que el precio cambió por debajo de los $400... Les recomiendo que estén pendientes en la variación del precio.

Perfect. Easy to Set up. Gets the job done.
Gets The job done. I am using Apple Airport Express as primary router. I guess its getting old and I see a drop in the signal strength in my study/work room. I was looking for a range extender at an affordable price. I came across this device. Its fairly easy to setup (took me 10 minutes). Significantly improved the Wi-Fi signal strength. I am on ACT 100 mbps connection. However my apple router is only giving around 50mbps on an average. The range extender is getting me around 30mbps which is more than enough( I was getting 3-4 mbps earlier without the extender). Overall I am satisfied with the product. Gets the job done. (I could have ordered a higher version to support 5ghz as its only delivers 2.5ghz band. 2.5ghz is the most common and congested as we have probably 20-25 devices at home operating in this bandwidth). Bottom line - Huge Thumbs up!
