I may have received a defective unit but even though it is connected correctly it does not boost the wifi signal at all for my ring doorbell camera 20 feet away.

Hi Doug R,
Thank you for your review. Wireless routers, access points, and adapters send and receive radio wave signals through antennas. To optimize your wireless range, we suggest checking this resource: https://kb.netgear.com/1114/Improving-wireless-range-Overview

I purchased a router that died on me only after two months of use. I had to buy a signal extender to get decent signal throughout my home. Fast forward to this purchase I had it up and running in under 20 minutes. I get great service without the extender. I highly recommend this modem/router.
This router is awesome. I first found it by looking up “wifi router” on google. After reading some reviews that this router was top tier, I was impressed. Using the instructions and downloading the app were very easy and efficient! I have not had any problems with signal and I love my fast wifi as a college student! Netgear is AWESOME!
