This extender did exactly what I needed it to. Easy to set up and now I can get my 5G Wi-Fi all over the house.

This thing was a piece of crap from the beginning. It continuously dropped the 5G, and I let it go for a while, about 30 days until I had time to sit down and work on it. It will no longer reset, and does not broadcast it's SSID, and when I called Netgear technical support a very smug person of the male persuasion who I'm sure his name was Bee A s * +* d, very smugly told me that I need it to have a subscription of $15 a month in order for my range extender to connect to my own network and work, lol! There was no explanation for it working partially for the previous 30 days.Mr b claimed that this information was on the box. I didn't get a box. I did get instructions, and at no place anywhere in any of the instructions is there anything stating that I had to have a subscription to connect a device that extends the range of my network.There is a subscription service, but not for this application!The man was obviously playing a fool simply because I was a woman and thought that I would just glibly fall for whatever nonsense he was spewing. Once I advised him that I had done IT work in the past, built my own computers and networks, he became very smug and insulting, stating things like 'You're such an expert." And " You're so smart."I have seen and experienced literal toxic masculinity in my lifetime, and I don't accept it. I have never, ever experienced it as a customer calling tech support, and after spending 10 years working phones in customer support, I would never allow this kind of nonsense to happen.I don't know what kind business lowers the standards of quality to the point of poorly functioning products, and the most agregious customer service I have ever encountered, but it's helped me decide I will never buy another Netgear product as long as I live and I will tell everyone I know why that is.

Has worked reliably for over a year now

We live in a valley and WIFI is an issue. This definitely helped us but we eentually needed a new router.

I had a large, clunky extender provided by my internet provider. Given that I had only 1 cable hook up in my room, I was limited to where I could use it. I decided to try the NETGEAR plug-in extender. Using the app, it was a snap to set-up, and instantly all of my electronics in the room went to full 5G signals!
