Very disappointed with this extender. Supposed to be best on the market. Signal drops out all the time and devices can't even connect via lan cable. Simply doesn't do what it is supposed to find that extend my Wi-Fi range. Very disappointed would like to return it for a refund.

Using as an extender works great and setup was easy!

Range extenders offer a way to provide wireless networking to those dead spots in the far corners of your house, but they have a reputation of being tricky to set up.

Range extenders offer a way to provide wireless networking to those dead spots in the far corners of your house, but they have a reputation of being tricky to set up. With the Nighthawk AC1900 Wi-Fi Range Extender EX7000 ($169.99), setup is as easy as it gets, but more importantly, this dual-band extender delivers outstanding throughput on both bands. Unlike most extenders, the EX7000($139.06 at Amazon) is big, and it's expensive, but it's equipped with multiple connectivity ports and offers Media Server and access-control features. Its top-shelf performance and robust feature set earn it our Editors' Choice for wireless range extenders. Design and Features The EX7000 is much bigger than a typical plug-in range extender, such as the D-Link Wi-Fi Dual Band Range Extender (DAP-1520)($39.99 at Dell Technologies). Measuring 1.2 by 9.9 by 6.9 inches (HWD) and sporting a shiny, black finish and three adjustable antennas, it could easily be mistaken for a full-blown router, which means ...

Need the right hardware to make the most of it; Tries to force you to sign up for Netgear online services; 1yr warranty seems low for the price

Weak WiFi range is the bane of most households, and while 802.11ac can improve things, it isn't the be all end all if you're using one device. Enter Netgear's Nighthawk Range Extender. Can this fix our WiFi woes?

Easy setup and maintenance; Stylish; Offers five Gigabit Ethernet ports; Fastlane technology to dedicate the whole of a band for one thing: connecting to the original router or sending out reception and data

Doesn't extend the WiFi name; meaning you're forced to connect to another network; not just keep working off the one you were using already; Expensive

I was initially thrilled that the WPS connection button seemed to work like a charm, but quickly discovered that the green lights did not mean the extender was connected to my router. Tried calling tech support 3 times, still haven't heard back from them after 3 days.

great reviews

non-existent tech support; ineffective troubleshooting in box and on-line; never worked

This has boosted my signal throughout, not incredibly but it has improved. The difference is that there is a dramatic speed increase which is what it s all about. I currently have the latest Virgin router but it definitely needed this to boost the Wi-Fi performance.
