NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender EX5000 - Coverage up to 1500 sq.ft. and 25 devices
Easy setup, works as supposed, excellent connection and range.
We liked the easy setup and the extended Wi-Fi range in our home.
Easy to install and projects range well, even through several walls.
Not only did it boost the WiFi but the range on the extender is great!!
I have placed it past several walls and near the edge of my router's signal range and the extender has not lost connection at all

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

First, the instructions aren't clear and use language that only "techie" experts understand
As able to install it myself using the simple, clear instructions provided
Much easier to get working than I had anticipated; good instructions.
Easily set up using the provided understandable instructions and the quick guide too
The instructions are straightforward and this will improve your wifi signal!

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

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.

Overall, setup was pretty easy, and the extender is doing its job well
Other than that it seems to do a great job increasing the signal strength.
Seems to be doing the job well so far but have only used less than one day.

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
Easy to setup and works great!An excellent value for the price.

Expected a better working product.
This little extender works well once set up
In this regard, I am satisfied that the product works and is relatively easy to set up
Overall this works great for my needs without having to spend tons of extra
Put in my garage to extend and strengthen WIFI outside and worked fantastically well with all connected devices and great for my house guests.

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).

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

This extender is so frustrating to use
Overall, good quality with decent coverage extender and I highly recommend it, specially on sale
Once installed, I find the extender isn't giving me the extra boost in WiFi signal I was hoping to get
We tried another extender before but it didn’t work.

This product did not work for me.
Either the unit I received is faulty, or the product is a complete trash
I would not recommend this product.
If you had ever setup a router before, this product will definitely be easy to use
Easy and fast to configure in yor network. great product.

I am admittedly not a tech person so have procrastinated and put up with poor WiFi coverage literally for years because I was afraid of the process of selecting/installing a range extender 🤷
It does work I have poor wifi service I can run more than one device now,
No more weak wifi spots in my home.
Not only did it boost the WiFi but the range on the extender is great!!
Was hard to install because my WiFi was secure or something silly

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!

I tried it other rooms as well with this device and the same issue
It works fine providing the wifi signal to my living room blind spot and to my front yard hangout.
It can address a dead room or two.
My daughter's room was not as close and it didn't work for her at all.
My teenager's room's devices sometimes loses its connectivity.
