Great extension of my wireless. I have a" man cave/office" in my unattached garage about 100 feet away from my cable company supplied Wi-Fi modem. It actually was able to reach this but the signal without the extender but it was weak and often dropped the connection or slow speed. I installed this NETGEAR N300 about 50 feet away. I now get great connectivity for my laptop.The initial setup is to:- Plug the Range Extender into an outlet (I put them side-by-side) very close to the modem. You DO NOT use an Ethernet cord to set this extender up.- Wait for the solid green LED power light of the extender.- Push the WPS button on the extender and another LED light will blink.- Push the WPS button on you old Modem and watch them connect. I had to look for the WPS button on the old modem because it not obvious but it does exist.- Once the Router LED light on the Extender is solid green, unplug the extender and move it into an area that already can receive some signal, (I placed the Extender 1/2 way between my office and the old modem) as it cannot "extend" what it cannot detect!- Select the new Network name it has created (it will be your old network name with an -EXT at the end)- Use the password you use on your existing Wi-Fi system and you are done!

I felt obliged to write a review since there are some bad reviews of this product. Full disclosure, I've been in IT for 25 years so I generally know my way around technology. I base my 'ease of setup' on if I would be able to walk my mother-in-law through the setup over the phone. This product is brain dead simple to configure and get going if you have a WPS capable router. You simply push the WPS button on your router then push the button on the N300. Do this in the same room to ensure a strong signal. Once you get the green light on the N300, you're good to go and can upnlug it and move it to where you need.As for the range extending capabilities, my access point is on the second floor of our 3 story house (3200 square feet). The extender is on the first floor with the hope of improving wifi to the TV and the family room. I ran a speed test from my laptop. Prior to the N300 it got 50mbs/10mbs (down/up). With the N300, the laptop got 100mbs/24mbs.For the price, this is a good solution and much more cost effective than the mesh network systems. I'll be ordering a second N300 to put in the master bedroom. The speed isn't needed but the geek in me can't pass up a faster connection for the small cost of these extenders.

#1) I am a customer who paid full price for this product.#2) I've needed something that would make my Comcast WiFi connection extend into my bedroom, which was never more than 25 feet from my modem. However, for some reason, I'm sure because of the layout of my home and the barriers between the rooms, I was never able to actually receive a nice strong connection in my bedroom.#3) I purchased this, with no knowledge of these products, purely based on the ratings and reviews.#4) Very fast shipping, as always, with my much loved Prime membership. :)#5) Very simple installation... the very 1st step is to simply plug it into the wall in the same room as the modem. I was unsuccessful using the "WPS" push setup method, however I've literally never had success using this method any other time, either, so I am not necessarily blaming this on the product.But, the other setup option is using your laptop, another very simple option, that was easily accomplished and fully functional within 10 minutes [and, that was being distracted with conversation, so I'd say a normal person would do this within 5 mins, or less :)]Then, once you've completed setup, you unplug the extender and move it in position between the modem and the area that you're wanting coverage. Literally couldn't be any easier!!!#6) Before, I couldn't get a decent connection in my bedroom at all, now it literally seems like I'm sitting right next to my modem anywhere in my bedroom with FULL STRENGTH for the WiFi connection on my laptop.GREAT PRODUCT, VERY HAPPY WITH THE PERFORMANCE!!! :)
