Pure Junk

Modifies the MAC address of devices on the extended network (against the rules for MAC address assignment) before passing them on, making dynamic IP reservations a pain.
Pros:
  • Will extend your wireless network...for a while...until it quits working and needs a reboot
Cons:
  • Locks up - after a few hours to a few days
  • completely stops routing packets from the extended network to the primary network
  • requiring you to unplug the device to reset

Netgear WN3000RP Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender review

Wireless networks can be fantastic - eliminating the need to trail Ethernet cables across our homes just to connect to the internet, or stream media from one PC to another. But often their Achilles' heel is range.

Resolved My Connection Problem

I was experiencing problems with being able to connect to my parents network. The computer, wireless network and router is located at the furthest end of a ranch home and I was trying to connect from the other end of the ranch without much success. The Wi-Fi Range Extender resolved all of my issues.

Complete Waste of Money

I decided to purchase this "range extender" and I had trouble immediately from set up. I tried contacting NetGear and after spending around 4 hours on the phone with their technical support I got absolutely nowhere. A real waste of money. Very upsetting.

The Netgear Universal WN3000RP is the second of the Wi-Fi boosters manufactured by Netgear. This particular device is much smaller than the WN2000RPT and plugs into a wall outlet to power-up.
Pros:
  • This Wi-Fi booster has an optimal coverage option to show where the unit should be placed for the best connection possible
Cons:
  • Phone support only lasts 90 days from product purchase date

Useless!

My experience with this product wasn't what I was expecting. My wireless network is running all NetGear equipment and runs really well, but I had a minor dead spot that I needed to resolve. This sold itself as the perfect solution. It wasn't, it in fact gave me a worse signal than the router alone.
Pros:
  • Nothing
Cons:
  • Everything
