Reviews around use (5.00 of 5)

  • Netgear support is phenomenal!BTW - using the NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender EX2800 right now in my garage!
  • I recommend using this extender only in open space housing with very few
  • With the demands on our WiFi during the work from home for both of us, we needed the ability to have speed and log-on easy use for multiple computers.
  • The use of this extender required work that went beyond my ability
  • It's so much easier using a range extender like this than trying to set up an access point to bridge Wifi connections

Reviews around quality (5.00 of 5)

  • Hugely improved the quality of the signal when I work outside.
  • Overall, good quality with decent coverage extender and I highly recommend it, specially on sale
  • Good quality and durable manufacturing will not let you down.
  • This is a decent quality extender, but it's not the best. setting it up with my current netgear AC1000 router was super easy just hold the WPS on both of them until they connect to each other and voila you're done
  • I really wanted this to work with my Nighthawk app as I

Reviews around tech support (5.00 of 5)

  • After spending two hours trying myself, I called then netgear tech support line.
  • I got, "no internet connection", and "no IP address" error messages, and after waiting for an hour for tech support to call me back, I gave up
  • I don't care if this is the best extender in the world, DO NOT PROMOTE FREE TECH SUPPORT FOR 90 DAYS.
  • My idea of tech support is that they want to have your item fully optimized which is usually dependent on other equipment.

Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • I had no problem recovering my ‘lost’ password and give major kudos to Netgear for its lost password routine not demanding a changed password but instead, it truly recovers the lost one via key questions such as

Reviews around device (4.58 of 5)

  • This device works well to extend the wifi range of your router for areas in your property that has spotty wifi signal
  • I like this device because it allows you to connect to both!
  • and then other times to create errors in setup to see how well the device recovered from the error such as a lost password
  • I'm sure for most people this is a great device, but not if one has FIOS internet and TV.
  • I have had an issue here and there with dropping signal, but it's very rare (and could be a device issue rather than an issue with the product).

Reviews around setup (4.08 of 5)

  • Overall, setup was pretty easy, and the extender is doing its job well
  • but most importantly, you don’t have to be tech savvy to complete proper setup...which is great, because I struggle to work a smart TV remote, and I was still able to set this up quickly and correctly
  • The setup was easy, just followed the directions and was up and running
  • Terrible terrible terrible, poorly described setup
  • The initial setup (to establish Network name, etc) by connecting wirelessly to the device is ABSURDLY slow, maybe 10-30 minutes per page of setup

Reviews around wifi (3.58 of 5)

Reviews around zone (1.54 of 5)

  • If, like me, your dead zone sees relatively little use anyway, it's perfectly acceptable
  • and I can get great signal in what was once a dead zone
  • That room, the garage itself, and the patio are a major dead zone
  • I had a bit of a dead zone in my WIFI signal and needed to find an easy to use solution to this
  • Since installing this extender, we are now dead zone free when our devices are connected to it!
