NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender EX2800 - Coverage up to 600 sq.ft. and 15 Devices with AC750 Dual Band Wireless Signal Booster & Repeater (up to 750Mbps Speed), and Compact Wall Plug Design

El repetidor cumple muy bien su función. La instalación fue sencilla y rápida, incluso sin ser experta en tecnología. Logré mejorar significativamente la señal en áreas donde antes no llegaba el Wi-Fi, como en mi habitación que esta muy alejada del router principal. La conexión se mantiene estable y la velocidad es bastante buena para navegación y streaming. Muy útil para ampliar la cobertura sin tener que invertir en un router nuevo. ¡Satisfecha con la compra!

1st thing: USE A LAPTOP2nd Thing: Don't use WPS3rd Thing: Connect with the NETGEAR installation assistantAfter reading other reviews, I connected via my laptop, didn't use WPS, and used the assistant. Up and running in 5 min. There is a part in the assistant at the end that says "Connect Devices now" or something like that. The only thing showing were the 2 networks it just created which was my routername_5GEXT. This screen wants you to connect any devices to the new network. None showed so I hit next. I got an error screen. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THIS. If the extender has all green lights, you're good. Close the browser window (i.e. Chrome, Edge, FireFox) and open up the wireless networks on your device, select the yourroutername_5GEXT or yourroutername_2GEXT and hit connect, enter password AND WAIT. It will tell you are not connected, but it will. NOTE: My routername_2GEXT didn't work, but the routername_5GEXT did. I have Xfinity/Comcast as my ISP and the 2G and 5G networks are merged. If you have problems with one, try the other (trouble with routername_5GEXT, try routername_2GEXT or vice versa).I then took it out to my garage and plugged it in. Took about a min for three greens to light up but 'devices' was blank. Connected my laptop, SmartTV, Firestick, phone, etc one at a time, and got the same error at first...."Not Connected". Again, WAIT and don't freak out. 10 seconds after I got the error message, each device connected no problem (again, I connected one at a time and each time I got the error, i waited, and the device connected)There will be times when a device (laptop, phone, Smart TV, etc) will tell you "login required" or something like that. I suggest NOT logging in, but rather unplugging the extender for a few seconds and wait for all lights to turn green. You will then be able to connect no problem. Remember: you have to have already set up the extender already for this to work

This range extender does do exactly what it says it will. I am using it to extend a 5G network to a backroom in the house that had a super weak signal from the main router. The extender is about 45 to 50 feet from the main router and seems to pick up the signal just fine. Now the speed advertised is way higher than I have been able to achieve. Using the 5G signal directly from my router I get download speeds of around 550mbps. Using the range extender I get between 100mbps and 110mbps. The speed tests on the extender were done standing withing 2 feet of the extender, 10 feet away, and about 20 feet (line of sight) and the download speeds were pretty constant. Not a huge issue for me as I'm not trying to use the extender for gaming, just streaming movies and music mostly and using my laptop and phone. The extender came with minimal packaging, which I actually appreciate. I don't like having small items packaged in large boxes with all kinds of packing materials I have to dispose of. The included instructions were pretty simple and easy to follow. Setup start to finish took less than 10 minutes. I was able to use the WPS linking which makes setup super simple. I do have a Netgear router supplied by my ISP, I don't know it that made linking any easier or not. Once setup, I accessed the extender's internal settings on my laptop and set it up how I wanted it. There are a lot of extra features available so if you are a novice with these types of appliances you might want to ask someone for some help on some of the more technical settings. I like that I can log in and see how many things are currently logged into or using the extender and what they are (computer, phone, TV, Amazon Echo Show, etc.). The range extender has been online for about a week now and I have had no problems with it. I have had to unplug the extender a couple of times to restart it but that was not the fault of the extender, it is a problem with the equipment supplied by my ISP. So, to that point, if your internet shuts off or your router gets restarted you might need to unplug the extender to reacquire the necessary signal to extend your Wi-Fi. I give this range extender 4 stars rather than 5 simply because of the slower download speeds. Again, if all you want to do is basic streaming and web surfing this extender works great, even when you have 6 or 7 things using it. Would I buy another one if I decide to extend our Wi-Fi signal the other direction in our house? Yes, I would. Simple and effective for what I need.
