  • ONE WIFI NAME ACROSS YOUR HOME
    Smart Roaming keeps your existing network name and moves each device to the strongest signal automatically, so there is no manual switching and no dropped calls or streams as you move room to room
  • EASY SET UP
    Use the NETGEAR Nighthawk app for guided setup, or press WPS on your router and the extender
  • STREAM AND GAME ON EVERY DEVICE
    Let more devices stream, game, and video call at once with up to 1.6 Gbps (AX1600), plus a Gigabit Ethernet port. Real-world speeds vary depending on connected devices and internet plan
  • WORKS WITH THE ROUTER YOU ALREADY HAVE
    Connects to any router or gateway from Xfinity, Spectrum, AT&T, Cox, or Verizon and rebroadcasts its signal. It extends your router, it does not replace it, with no closed ecosystem to lock you in

WiFi for camera - Works great. Strong reception in 70' ranch house. 98 - 100% network.

Works to extend the internet - This product has been great for my needs. I bought an older, used computer tower and found out it didn't have wifi to connect to my home internet. This product helped get me connected in another room where running an ethernet cable wasn't an option.

MichaelWOct 9, 2026 · Verified purchase ★☆☆☆☆

Not worth the money - Very difficult to get set up and could not get the app to work at all. The signal booster is very weak and not worth the money. I would recommend looking elsewhere
