Excellent replacement for my old (2011) Cisco router. I have no more problems with programs re-loading. Its design is convenient for my little condo. This device really delivers!
This extender works when it is running properly with a Netgear router. The only major issue is that when you get too many devices connected it stops working. Often times it needs to be unplugged and restarted to start making connections again. Running firmware updates is dicey as sometimes it doesn't connect to the router again. You will have to setup the whole system all over again. This is good for an entry level device but not solid if you use it for a home office or connecting lots of IoT devices.
