Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

One thing to know about these sorts of extenders--they don't work seamlessly, you have to connect to a different SSID than your main router in order to use the extended range. For instance, if you normally connect to a network named "MyRouter", you won't be using the extended range unless you connect to a new network named something like "MyRouterExtender", which is the network being broadcast by your new Netgear range extender. I was hoping this thing would work as a signal repeater, but it does not. But that's not why I'm rating this device as two-stars. The other thing to know is that this doesn't work as advertised--you can't extend both your 2.4Ghz and your 5Ghz signals simultaneously. When I did that, I was only able to connect to my extender's 2.4Ghz network. If I tried to connect to the extender's 5Ghz network, it wouldn't connect. The workaround for this is to only extend either your 2.4Ghz network OR your 5Ghz network. You can still have the extender broadcast a 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz signal, but they'll both be backhauled to your router over whichever network you chose to set up. I had to search the internet to find this answer, and it seems to be either a bug in the way it's implemented, or the device is advertised with features it doesn't actually have. So, buyer beware.
