    Bring WiFi 6 to the rooms your router cannot reach – bedrooms, garage, basement, and backyard – with up to 1,500 sq. ft. of added coverage for up to 20 devices, from any wall outlet
  • 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 3.0 Gbps (AX3000), 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

Difficulty setting up - After unsuccessfully attempting to set up, I contacted Netgear for assistance. He worked ruthlessly to solve my situation. I had a connection problem. He got it working, It now works fine.

No Gain - Did nothing to improve wifi signal. Not sure why. Might work for someone else.

Decent - Not a strong enough signal for my needs. I need to buy the more expensive option.
