Review: Techie approved! - Situation: I live in a condo whose floor plan is long and skinny. Of course, the cable hookup is at one is at one end, and my bedroom is at the other (about 50 feet away). In my bedroom, my laptop seemed OK on the 5 GHz band, though my iPhone would regularly drop the signal and revert back to my mobile network. I also have a large deck "behind" my bedroom that's farther away from my access point, and neither device could hold a connection out there. Setup: The setup of the device itself was pretty straightforward. The direction were clear, and I didn't run into any issues. It took 5-10 minutes. What took a little longer, though, was determining the correct outlet in my home into which to plug the device. It was worth the effort. Performance: On my laptop, I'm seeing about a 10% speed loss in my bedroom and a 30% speed loss at the edge of my deck, which is about 100 feet from the access point. I can still get almost 20 Mbps on the deck, though, so it's unnoticeable for regular web browsing, etc. On my iPhone, I'm also seeing about a 10% speed loss in my bedroom. On the deck, the connection is spotty and drops more than I'd like. I chalk that situation, though, up to the brick walls and the wifi radio in the iPhone (since my laptop has no issues). That said, the signal of the 2.4 GHz band is strong on the deck, and I can pull about 6 Mbps at the edge. Overall: Overall I'm very happy with the device. It works as advertised and is able to deliver a strong signal to everywhere I need. It would be ideal if I could get the same speeds on my iPhone as I do my laptop, but I don't fault this device for that.
Review: Great when it works, which is not for long - I bought this extender 3 months and 2 days ago, and during that entire time, I have had to reboot it every 1 or 2 days because it kept dropping the devices connected to it and not allowing reconnection. Given that my router and DSL modem continuously provided service with no interruptions, that makes it sound like a hardware issue with the extender, right? Because I was 2 days past my technical support warranty period (hardware support is 1 year), Netgear's overseas support personnel insisted on charging me to determine the issue. How much do they want? 6 months' support = $79.99 1 year's support = $129.99 2 years' support = $199.99 Mind you, this is for a wireless extender that only costs $69.99 here on desertcart! I made Reign (that was her name) promise me that if, after going through all their diagnostics it was determined that this was a hardware issue, they would refund my support charge. She checked with her supervisor. She agreed. Over the course of 1.75 hours, Reign 'checked with her supervisor' no less than 14 times. She also guided me haltingly through stuffing a paperclip into the Reset hole 2 different times, after which we painstakingly reentered passwords and setup information on my phone's tiny screen each time. I say 'tiny screen', not just because it's physically tiny, but also because the browser feed from this extender is not optimized for mobile - even though they recommend using a phone to set it up! At the end of it all, Reign's supervisor agreed that it was indeed a hardware issue, and I was given an RMA number. Reign advised me I would be receiving an email with the information necessary to complete the RMA process, and she seemed awfully anxious to get off the call. Once I followed the links in the email, I could see why! If you just want the free exchange option, it's not really free - you have to pay postage to send the defective unit back! Once Netgear receives it, they will send you another extender... after 10 working days! If you want to pay for cross shipping, it'll cost you $16.90. They promise to send the replacement extender via ground shipment from Tennessee and to provide you with a label for returning the defective unit. If you want things to happen faster than that, you can pay $29.90 for rush shipping, and they'll also provide you with a label. I chose the $16.90 option. You know what I got? A Word document with their address on it! :-D That it! That's the label, and I still have to pay to return the defective unit to Netgear! Oh wait, there's more. I also got a tersely worded advisement that if they didn't get the defective unit back within 10 days, I would be charged full price for the replacement unit. And if they got the defective unit back after they had already charged me for the replacement unit, Netgear would charge me $20 as a penalty! If you get a good unit and it works well for you, all well and good. But if you get a bad unit, between your phone time and your shipping costs, you're almost better off throwing this thing in the garbage and buying another one. According to the professional reviewers, Netgear is supposed to make products with great feature sets for the money. IMHO, however, I don't think it pencils out to buy anything from these clowns, and won't be doing so in the future. UPDATE: The replacement unit arrived, and setup was as troublesome as many have reported. I thought I got the unit set up properly, but it too started dropping connections and needing to be constantly rebooted. So I called tech support. What a joke. This time, I was on the phone for 3:18:23 with Rueen (please forgive me if I've misspelled his name). Again, I had to reset the unit over and over and over again as we fought through the unit's not taking commands properly. After the sixth attempt, it was able to support the basic configuration, but when I turned on the Fastlane feature and tried to apply that setting, it failed again. At first, Rueen didn't know what Fastlane technology was. Then he tried to convince me that wasn't something Netgear produced. Then he tried to tell me Fastlane technology doesn't work, and that no one he knows uses it, and that I shouldn't either. Finally, I got Rueen to agree to replace this unit - a second time! One good thing: When I demanded not to have to pay for shipping, he sprung for free ground to my location and a free return shipment label. I have 2 of these things, and 1 of them works perfectly. Fastlane, no dropped connections, never have to reboot it... the works. But so far, I've had 2 bad ones in a row, and a 66% failure rate is way too poor, IMHO, for a company such as Netgear. I don't know what's going on with them, but between the buggy software, the defective hardware, and the abysmal support, Netgear's quality hasn't just sunk to the basement - it's got itself a shovel, and it keeps on digging!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly
*by P***N on March 12, 2013*

...so far. I've read all the bad reviews about all the range-extenders out there and was extremely weary purchasing. I was looking at cheaper ones but decided to go with this more expensive, and better-known one. I have a 3-flat building and I supply my tenants with free wi-fi, but the signal became weak on the 2nd floor, and weaker still on the 3rd. My router is cable and hard-wired near the back of my 1st floor apartment. I would even loose a signal bar at the front of my apartment. I felt the dual band would allow for higher speed downloads when needed with multiple devices connected. I found almost a central place of my building to locate it. Set-up was pretty easy: just plug it in, hit the WPS button, then run down to my router and hit it's WPS button. This created another available wi-fi network to connect. I tested it everywhere with my smartphone. Before, I got 'fair' and 'poor' signals. Now I get 'excellent' and 'good' signals. Even the places in the front of my apartment where I used to drop to 'good' signal, now get 'excellent' on that new network. It has been working as it should for several weeks now with no disconnections or having to reset anything. It's compact enough to not be an eye-sore. The only things keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the price, and the misleading notion that you can have dual bands (the description states that you can use both 1.5 and 5hrz, but the latter is only if your original wireless router is also dual band, which I discovered mine is only 1.5). Otherwise, I would recommend this product.
