My home office is as far away from my wifi router as it can be. The Netgear Wifi mesh Extender was easy to set up with the App and works great. Pro Tip, turn off the data on your phone while setting up the Mesh Extender.
With everyone working from home, our internet service was having a difficult tone making it to my office space and I found myself utilizing data on my phone more often than not. In fact, though my wireless printer says it’s connected, the connection is so poor that any device trying to connect gets the message that the printer is offline. This took maybe 7 minutes all told to set up and has worked magnificently from the get go. It’s been two weeks of full bars/signal strength on my phone/laptop/printer. Definitely a WFH lifesaver!
Overall very pleased with the performance but the setup was a real pain. Downloaded the app and nothing worked! Luckily, I have a very good friend that helped me get online and connected.
Before I purchased this Netgear WiFi extender, I was having difficulty staying connected to the WiFi upstairs in my other rooms. But, now I no longer have to worry about that! My WiFi is now much stronger and I’m able to stream all of my favorite apps with no problems! I highly recommend anyone who needs a stronger WiFi connection to choose Netgear brand. I don’t feel like I wasted my $$; worth every penny!
I needed to extend my wifi to my deck so I can enjoy the spring weather during this shelter-in-place period. I bought the NetGear AC1750 Mesh extender and have been very pleased with its performance. The signal strength and speed are comparable to a direct connection with my router in every way. The fact that I do not need to sign into the network on the AC17590 for each use but just maintain my normal passwords and sign-in process for wifi has been a true plus. Set up was easy thru the WPS process. So for this non-techy this extender has truly been a breeze to use......
