Works exactly as advertised! Extends and boosts wifi signal in all parts of the house. Highly recommended!

These devices are very small and performance is not very good when being an extender--as their limited bandwidth is cut in half (half to receive, then half to re-transmit to your device). To make matters worse, their AC1200 rating is kind of irrelevant as an access point or bridge since their port is bottlenecked at 100Mb. In real world conditions, legit AC1200 connections can pull off around 70MB/sec or 550Mb or so of download bandwidth so 100Mb is a very intentional bottlenecking for access point / bridge performance flexibility.These also don't seem to handle interference very well, even at short distances and with fully updated (Oct 2021) firmware...plus their 5ghz band is much better than their 2.4ghz one in my testing.Despite these caveats, I often use these devices as wireless bridges for printers, for which they cover all the bases--bandwidth isn't halved, the 100Mb performance cap is fine and they are nice and small / unobtrusive. This isn't a clearly documented feature, but if you set the device up as an extender and then disable both of the extender bands, you now have a wireless bridge off the Ethernet port without it providing any marginal extender features.If you want an extender type device with legitimate performance and flexibility, try the EX6250 or EX7300. They are excellent access points (not halved bandwidth, but you need wiring to them) and high performance bridges in this role.Wifi extenders --acting as actual extenders-- should always be considered a low performance, last resort option and should be placed midway between your signal source and desired coverage area, as long as that mid point is away from interference sources. For ideal value and flexibility for future uses, you should buy an EX6250 instead of this product.I do prefer these products over TP-Link ones, as Netgear's firmware support is generally far better. ASUS makes great routers, but their extenders are extremely buggy and not worth the effort vs either of the aforementioned brands.

While the Netgear EX3700 was super easy to install and set up, that's all it had going for it. I used it for my son's PC and it kept dropping the signal once an hour. All green lights are on but it just keeps dropping out. I reset it and reconfigured it no less than 5 times and also downloaded and installed the latest firmware but had the same results.I also have an EX 2700 that I use for my outdoor security camera so I decided to switch them to see what happens and sure enough, I got a "camera is offline' message three times in two hours. Both were plugged into the same location so I know that I'm in range of the router. Switched them back and I haven't had an issue since. Not sure what the issue is but a quick search on the net yielded similar complaints from other people.

To be honest I would not have given this product much thought. Personally, we have a Netgear Orbi Mesh Routers. Friends of ours bought the Netgear WiFi Booster, and asked my help to install it. The first thing before installing the Netgear was using an app like Wi-Fi Sweetspots to find where the signal was dropping and determining the best place to install the Netgear.Installing the Booster to the network, needs to be run twice. Once for each of the two bands, being 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Almost missed this step. Do this step right beside your existing router, then move it to different locations and test it out. The first logical location did not work. We moved it to another spot, and I was totally shocked. The results were amazing.Our son was having problems with their WiFi in a new office they added in an upstairs bedroom. This was an ongoing concern. Because of the results at our friends home, I bought one of these and set it up at our sons. This was equally successful. And amazing speed without disconnects. Both our son and his wife spend most of their day with on-line content, and the results were very surprising.The only issue I have is that it will broadcast with its own unique SSID for both bands. I will try to explain. Most Modem/Routers allow you to broadcast with one or two ID's to cover the two bands. A mesh router will continue to broadcast the home routers SSID. So, you can have one SSID for the entire house and the Router will automatically determine the band needed for your device. Unfortunately, this device will transmit two additional SSID's. By default the new bands will appear as _2GEXT added to the end for the 2.4GHz band and _5GEXT for the 5GHz band.The worst case scenario, is that you may have up to four different SSID's for your home. This did not really pose a problem, as it worked very well when you moved from one part of the house to the next and passively switched between SSID's.If you want to avoid spending 5 times of more on the price of a Mesh setup, I highly recommend this Product.

Extender EX6120 is ok within limits. Through my Netgear router I clock 120 Mbps in the same room. Through my Netgear Router standing next to the Extender I still achieve 108 Mbps. Standing next to the Extender and using the Extender as my WiFi source I clock in at 40 Mbps ( 68 points drop ) . In my back yard metal shop I clock in at 18 Mbps using the extender. Through the Netgear Router ( not using the extender ) I get no signal in the back yard shop. Having said all that; this is why I bought an extender for a signal in the back yard shop. I was disappointed of how much of a signal drop that the Extender used up but beats no signal. tI is easy to set up & works good as long as you leave it alone in it's own power outlet.
