Wish I'd had this years ago
Just got it and yes, it literally only took 5 minutes to set up. I did have to do it on my laptop because our network doesn't do WPS (whatever that is, I don't really care). The instructions were simple and pretty clear. Just be sure to connect your laptop to the network FIRST, before trying to go to the Netgear installation assistant. The instructions say that, but I was in a hurry and overlooked it. Took me a minute (and lots of swearing) to figure it out, then realized it was my error. I was dreading buying a new range extender because our current one was so technical and such a pain if we needed to move it (had to go through the whole set up process every time!), I just didn't want to go through that again. But this thing is magic. And if you want to move it, you JUST UNPLUG IT AND MOVE IT. And then it just works! Takes up no room at all. I will update if we have any issues once we've been using it for a while. Update: 4 months and one pandemic later, this extender has chugged along under heavy use while we have all been trapped in the house together. No dropped signals, have never had to reboot it or pay any attention to it all. This extender and Netflix are the only reasons we haven't murdered each other.
