I actually purchased two of this model and had to return both. I could not get it to connect to the internet. I was already connected with a AC150 Netgear router, but wanted to upgrade. I ended up going back to this router and replaced it with a TP-Link AC1790 which connected first time.

Our home has struggled for years with our carriers modem. We finally bought our own and couldn’t be happier. Thank you NetGear for making us all so much happier in this house!!
This extender is very sound and extends the range of the WiFi in my home X 8. The only drawback is that I have to restart the extender after approx. 20-24 hrs of use. Don’t know why that is, but I believe it to be worth it.
I purchased the Netgear AC1750 for its combination of modem and router all in one package. The AC1750 is easy to install and set up and the performance is amazing. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Unless you want slower and more difficult then you might not want it.
NETGEAR Makes great products. They’re easy to set up easy to use and even if you do not have a networking degree you can set up a Home network. They’re relatively inexpensive for the quality you get and I will continue to buy these products as long as they continue to do what they do.
My prior router died and I needed one fast. I purchased the AC1750 and was back up and running in about 30 minutes, most of that was driving to get the unit. The Netgear website was easy to use for the setup and AC1750 is a great product.
